Labour’s Shadow Housing minister John Healey has slammed
the “five years of failure on housing” since Cameron took office. He said: “Over
the last five years with David Cameron in charge the Conservatives have
completely failed on housing. They claim to be the party of home ownership but
it has fallen every year for the past five years and is now at its lowest level
for a generation – for those under 35, it’s down by over a fifth. Their record
of failure has also seen rapidly rising rents, more homelessness, higher
housing benefits bill, and fewer homes built than at any time since the 1920s.
After five years of failure on housing, the millions of people struggling to
cope with their housing costs deserve a real plan for more affordable homes to
rent and buy. And the country needs a new wide debate about how our deepening
housing crisis can be tackled.” Read more on the Labour List website.
