Debate

Housing Target: Draft London Plan

Contribution

My Lords, the reality is that construction in London has faced an unprecedented perfect storm. But even in the face of all the difficulties that it faces, will my noble friend the Minister join me in welcoming the Mayor of London’s more interventionist use of his planning powers, which have resulted in the call in and approval of 10,000 homes this year alone? I remind the House of my interest in Quoin Partners and Homes for Life.
