Mrs Churchill MP said: “In my Bury St Edmunds constituency, both the district council and the county council have an appetite for building houses. They would like to know what support the Minister will give them for looking at funding arrangements in order to facilitate that growth.”
Housing Minister Brandon Lewis MP responded: “Having visited my hon. Friend’s constituency and local authorities over the summer, I know what appetite they and other district and county councils have to build more homes. That is good to see. I am fully aware that they want to move forward and, through the devolution deals—I know that Suffolk County Council and Norfolk County Councils are engaged with them—we are looking at what we can do to support more economic development and housing growth to satisfy their ambitions.”
