G15 Chair, Ian McDermott shares his thoughts on today's Spending Review
"We strongly welcome the government’s £39bn boost for new social and affordable homes. Equal access to the Building Safety Fund is excellent news and will make a real difference in London. And the pledge on long-term certainty and rent fairness could provide the foundations for a decade of social and economic renewal through housing.
This is an exceptionally positive statement of intent from the government which puts social housing at the heart of the growth mission. It’s clear that ministers understand the issues and in London the challenge remains considerable, but this settlement offers a real opportunity to turn the tide. These are potentially transformative announcements, and we stand ready to work with ministers, officials, the Mayor of London’s team, London Councils and partners to deliver in the capital and beyond.”
