It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Pritchard. I congratulate the hon. Member for Keighley and Ilkley on securing this debate and on his introductory speech. He made important points about consultation, responsibilities of housing developers and the need for quality service provision, community infrastructure and a range of other issues. Other Members raised the important issues of housing supply and the housing crisis. We can all agree about the need to address the housing shortage in our country; there were only 210,000 first-time buyers last year, affecting an intergenerational set of tensions with today's under-30s less than half as likely to be homeowners as those of the same age in the 1990s. The Government have inherited a set of challenges that we must address and there are 123,000 households including 150,000 children, in temporary accommodation which affects communities and constituencies up and down the country. We take seriously points made on planning and local consultation; suggested changes to the national policy and planning framework are first steps to correcting some issues that have arisen. The Government have hit the ground running on a number of agendas including leasehold reform, decent homes, new towns taskforce, investment summit with £60 billion and £0.5 billion on housing specifically, and announcing £5 billion towards a housing supply package for England over the next five years including £0.5 billion for social and affordable housing schemes. We need to ensure that developers fulfill their responsibility; safety is also important as highlighted by the hon. Member for Keighley and Ilkley with the remediation action plan following the recently published Grenfell phase 2 report setting out some of the issues relating to quality and safety. We are committed to the devolution agenda, giving more power to local communities including devolved budgets, empowering local leaders and mayors to work strategically with national Government to deliver on the housing agenda. We are mindful that we need to address both increasing supply and not compromising on quality of housing; section 106 delivers nearly half of all affordable homes per year. We have invested significant resources to tackle the housing crisis, ensuring the national planning policy framework is fit for purpose, communities engaged and involved with it.
