However, if the Government are to proceed with the package announced last month, we must ensure that new social and affordable homes are built in the capital. That is why the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee is calling on the Government to publish an impact assessment on how changes to London’s affordable housing targets will deliver more affordable housing units. A significant proportion of those homes must be affordable for local people. I would be grateful if the Minister outlined how Government amendment 149 relates to the Homes for London package, and how the new powers are being offered by the GLA specifically.
