Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 June 2026

Debate

Social Housing Bill [HL]

Contribution

Under right to buy we have a lottery from which some people have benefited, but a lot of people have suffered and the whole community has suffered. Of course, this being Committee, it is my intention to withdraw this amendment, but we have to keep having this argument. Is housing primarily a financial asset, or is it a secure, affordable place to live? Is it a human right for people to have decent, secure housing? I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
