§ Mr. Martyn JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what assessment he has made of the role of low-impact and self-built accommodation in the provision of affordable housing; and if he will make a statement. [3372]
§ Mr. Jonathan EvansI encourage energy efficiency in homes, the tackling of empty houses and the use of redundant buildings for housing. The Welsh Office encourages and supports local authorities to facilitate self-building of affordable homes, but this forms a small part of the total affordable home programme.
