Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 November 2026

Debate

Homes and Planning Bill

Contribution

I welcome the hon. Gentleman’s Bill on housing, which is such an important issue to constituents across the country, as he said. In London, dark flats—flats not used by anyone—are a big issue for us; at the same time, more than 8,000 people are registered on the social housing waiting list and 4,000 families are in temporary accommodation. Many mums criss-cross London, taking their children to get on buses to school and back. Does he agree that the issue is not just having more homes, but where those homes are, so that they are connected to jobs and support networks and make life affordable for people in many other ways?
