Lord Inglewood – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Communities and Local Government

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Inglewood on 2016-07-18.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of whether Brexit will increase, decrease, or have no material impact on, the need for more housing in England.

Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

It is too early to say. Whatever the impact, this government remains committed to increasing the supply of homes for the 86 percent of people who aspire to own their own home. The Spending Review doubled the housing budget and set out the most ambitious affordable housing programme since the 1970s, which will help us to achieve our ambition of delivering one million homes.
