Dr Scott Arthur

Labour — Edinburgh South West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 September 2026

Debate

Social Housing Bill [Lords]

Contribution

Is it not slightly misleading to suggest that the delivery rate for those homes pledged in the manifesto will be constant throughout the term of this Government? In fact, we have to do the enabling work in terms of legislation and then we will see more of those homes built towards the end. Is it not also right and good that we have a target that stretches us? I would hope that the Opposition would join us in helping to deliver that target.
