HC Deb 22 March 1989 vol 149 c629W
21. Mr. Haynes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has any new proposals for enabling young people to enter the housing market either as tenants or owner-occupiers.

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
