Build more social housing, MPs tell ministers
Houses, August 19, 2014
THE government was urged to build more social housing today by an all-party group of MPs.
It is time to end the “chronic shortage” of social housing by investing in a building programme, the Commons levelling up, housing and communities committee said in a report.
Repeating a call the same committee made four years ago, it demanded the government acts to deliver 90,000 new homes a year.
