The Liberal Democrats have launched a review of their housing policy led by senior figures within the party. Deputy leader Simon Hughes and Richard Kemp, leader of the Local Government Association group, are starting work on a detailed overhaul of Lib Dem housing policies. The party, which has recently been rocked by disagreements over security of tenure and cuts to housing benefit, is looking to update a policy last formally written in 2007.
Tenure reform will be one of the issues up for discussion and the group will also make a submission to the CLG’s consultation on tenure. Members of the CLG’s backbench committee and the LGA will also work on the review, which is due to report back in January. Read more on Inside Housing.
