Date of speech 10 November 2009 (extract only below)
Location Governor's House, London
When we're planning for the future, we have to plan for what we can't expect. That's a tricky idea to accept when you're formulating public policy. I am acutely aware that the decisions I take as Housing Minister will having lasting effects on generations to come. That's quite a responsibility. Nye Bevan, as Housing Minister, said: 'While we shall be judged for a year or two by the number of houses we build, we shall be judged in ten years' time by the type of houses we build'. I would add to that 'we will be judged in a generation's time by the environmental standard of the houses we build'.
