Conservative — Orpington

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 September 2026

Debate

Social Housing Bill [Lords]

Contribution

On the contrary, it was the last Conservative Government who in 2023 introduced 100% receipts going to councils to rebuild the homes that had gone. Although Government Members like to pretend that history only began in 2010, I point out to them that successive Governments since the 1980s could have changed that and did not; it was the last Conservative Government who did so.
