"Madam President, 1.3 million families – that is one in four families in England – are on lower incomes. They have to spend a third of their net income on housing, largely owing to the shortage of private rental sector housing, which was exacerbated in the 1980s by the Conservative Party’s failure to build social housing programmes and the Labour Party of the 1990s failing to tackle that issue.
I am glad that this is a national competence, and it should stay a national competence. However, the EU has a detrimental impact. We currently have a government in the United Kingdom saying that it does not know how many people who will be coming from Romania and Bulgaria, or indeed from across the European Union. How are our local authorities supposed to make provision when current provision does not meet demands? This is why we have problems of people in the private sector not being able to afford housing on a third of their income – some GBP 500 in Coventry. That is not affordable, and we cannot provide this any longer."@en1
