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.
