Context
Morris inquires about the impact of increased housing construction in his constituency, particularly in Horden, Easington and Blackhall, which require investment in housing regeneration to boost the local economy.
He thanks the Minister for previous support but asks if the Chancellor will invest more specifically in east Durham's housing regeneration, citing the potential to deliver jobs, training, green energy and sustainable domestic supply chains. He believes these schemes can revitalise communities with modern, clean and green housing.
Barclay agrees that investment is needed and highlights £12.2 billion of funding for affordable homes, a £400 million brownfield land fund, and a £450 million boost to the short-term house building fund to help small builders get schemes up and running quickly.
