HC Deb 26 April 1989 vol 151 c583W
53. Mr. Bradley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has any proposals to increase the supply of housing for single young people in metropolitan areas.

Mr. Trippier

The Government have provided for an 80 per cent. increase over the next three years in the finance available to the Housing Corporation to provide new houses to rent and to promote low-cost home ownership including shared ownership. The deregulation of new private lettings will also encourage landlords to make more homes available to rent.
