Sir Ashley Fox

Conservative — Bridgwater

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 October 2025

Debate

Stamp Duty Land Tax

Contribution

Does my hon. Friend share my concern that in the south-west of England, the Government have reduced the building target for Bristol city council, which has a lot of Labour members, and have instead increased the building target for rural Somerset, where there are few Labour members, by 40%? Does she share my concern that Labour is fiddling the housing targets for political advantage?
