Keep the public land bank public, use the public land bank to deliver public and genuinely affordable housing and have no privatisation whatsoever of the public land bank, which we believe the Government's Bill in its current form will facilitate. Of course, this produced a huge backlash and, in fairness to the current Minister, he was very critical, as were those of us in opposition, of that particular usage because at a time when public land is so scarce and the need for social and affordable housing is so great, there should of course be 100% affordable housing on public land.
Using the Affordable Housing Bill, we want to ensure that councils build social housing and housing for affordable rental and affordable purchase on council land. We want the LDA to build social housing and housing for affordable rental and affordable purchase on its public land.
