The housing crisis is intensifying because of this Tory government, not the EU - John Healey

labourpress:

John Healey MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Housing and Planning, responding to Liam Fox’s remarks on housing and the EU referendum, said:

“The housing crisis is intensifying because of this Tory government, not the European Union.

“Under the last Labour government, we built two million homes, helped a million more families become home-owners and made the largest investment in social housing in a generation – all as a member of the European Union.

“Tory Ministers have put that progress into reverse – slashing funding for affordable homes and failing to help young people and families on ordinary incomes get a first home of their own.

“Before criticising the EU, Liam Fox should take a hard look at the housing policies of the Conservative government.”
