What the debate was about

Auto-generated

Third, it would call on the Government to dramatically increase targets and accelerate the delivery of social and affordable cost-rental homes and social housing, as this is the only real solution to the crisis in the private rental sector. In reality, while the measures I have spoken about will address the immediate, short-term crisis in housing, the only long-term solution is for the Government to stop relying on the private rental sector to meet its social and affordable housing needs at a time when that sector is itself in deep crisis.

They know that, under the Housing for All plan and the Affordable Housing Act, we have introduced a new tenure-type of cost rental that has rents of at least 25% below market rent. It is public housing funded by the taxpayer for people who need housing.
