GOVERNMENT RESPONSE TO COASTAL TOWN REPORT

Motion Text

That this House commends the hard work of the Communities and Local Government Select Committee and its Report on Coastal Towns; notes with disappointment the response to the Report by the Government; further notes that the only recommendations the Government has agreed to involve no action by the Government; and believes that the Government has wasted a perfect opportunity to address the common problems faced by a number of coastal towns, including lack of affordable housing, geographic isolation, high benefit uptake and low wage seasonal employment, among many factors highlighted in the Report.
