Another one bites the dust… I think this will make for 16 housing ministers in 13 years? No doubt with another to follow next year, whoever wins the election. Not exactly a stable base for the house building industry to work with government.

I’ve been asked to step down from my role as Housing Minister. Disappointed and was looking forward to introducing the Renters Reform Bill to Committee tomorrow and later the Leasehold and Freehold Bill. It has been a privilege to hold the position and I wish my successor well.

Couple of quick quotes... “People want a sense of place and belonging and life and animation. And boy, oh boy do you feel that with self build, in a way that people don’t necessarily with a Persimmon or a Barratt home”... “I am with you on this mission to create greater volume.”
