Emma Reynolds MP, Labour’s Shadow Housing Minister, responding to the NAEA’s Housing Market Report for June 2014, said:

“Young people and families are struggling to get on the housing ladder because this Government has failed to tackle the housing shortage which is central to the cost-of-living crisis.

"Under David Cameron, house building has fallen to its lowest level in peacetime since the 1920s.

"For home ownership to be a realistic aspiration for the next generation we need to build many more homes which is why Labour will get 200,000 homes a year built by 2020.”
