Labour (Co-op) — Harlow

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 November 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

I am not on the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee, but I can tell from hon. Friend’s passion that she is an excellent Chair. The use of temporary accommodation, which we have discussed before, costs local councils millions of pounds every year. Does she hope that the Bill, and the fast tracking of social and affordable housing that she talks of, will help to tackle that issue and bring down bills for local councils?
