Affordable Social Housing In The South East

EDM number 102 in 2006-07, proposed by Mike Hancock on 15/11/2006.

That this House is alarmed by new evidence from the National Housing Federation; urges the Government to recognise the dire state of affordable social housing supply in the South East region, which is running at less than one third of the regional planning guidance minimum target, and that housing waiting lists in the region have increased by 27 per cent. since 1998, with the use of temporary accommodation increasing by over 97 per cent.; notes that local authority lettings have fallen by 22 per cent.; recognises that house prices have doubled in five years; and therefore calls on the Government to increase substantially investment in affordable social housing in areas outside the growth areas in the South East region in order to allow local authorities and housing associations to promote the long-term health and geographical balance of the local economy.

This motion has been signed by a total of 18 MPs.
