we change everything from our energy markets to our mass transportation systems, as i said that quite some length just now, systems, as i said that quite some lengthjust now, an systems, as i said that quite some length just now, an opportunity to help people with their single biggest cost, which is housing, and if you look at family budgets, that s where the money goes. people find ownership something really very, very difficult to attain, and i think that is wrong. i think what you have in this package today is some very creative ideas, notjust to build more homes in the right places, and that is crucial. you have got to build more, but you have also got some give people the chance to live in them, to own them, whatever, and by the way, you ask about delivery. neverforget, if anyone asked about social housing, i built more social housing than any labour mayor, the past, previous and current one. we get on with build,
indifference. so it is time for change. 0ver indifference. so it is time for change. over the coming months, we will work with the sector to bring forward a new right to buy scheme. it will work for tenants, giving millions more the right to own their own home. it will work for taxpayers, responsibly capped at a level that is fully paid for, affordable within our existing spending plans, and with one for one replacement every social housing properties sold. and even as we deliver this homeownership revolution, we will continue with the revolution in renters rights. as the fifth anniversary of the grenfell tragedy approaches, we need no reminders of the importance of landlords listening to and working with their tenants. which is why we are giving tenants across the social and private sector better homes, greater security and access to the kind ofjustice that we all deserve, but which many are currently denied. we are also dealing with the scourge of unfair leasehold terms often
childcare. we are on your side in cutting the costs of fuel. we are on your side in cutting transport costs. we are on your side in cutting the cost of homeownership, and of course, we are on your side in cutting the tax bill as fast as you responsibly can. and that in itself is an immense driver of productivity and growth. and in spite of all the pressures that this economy currently faces, we know that we will get through them as we got through previous pressures and emerge stronger than the other side. because that is our plan for a stronger economy. by tackling the cost of living in all the ways that i have set out and more, by keeping energy, housing, transport, tackle those costs with supply side reforms
each year? each year? i each year? iwill- each year? i i will totally each year? - i will totally reject each year? i will totally reject your. we build huge numbers of affordable homes right now, and we can be very proud of. when i was. as i said just now to chris, i built more than 100,000 of homes in london in my time as mayor, far more, i think, from memory than ken livingstone did, and certainly i them at a far greater rate than the current mayor did. we build affordable homes. as far as i can remember, we build more affordable homes in one year of the incoming conservative government after 2010, a coalition government, then the labour party did in 13 years in office. so we understand the vital importance of council homes and affordable homes. actually, the interesting thing about this country is that we do have, by comparison with many other european countries, a lots of social housing. 0ne european countries, a lots of social housing. one in five homes in this country is so
we get on and build, but i think we want to give people the chance of ownership. it is a massive, massive thing to do, and it s right for people, and it s right forfamilies, and i think it s right for the economy as well. dan hewitt of itv. thanks very much, prime minister. 0n housing, thanks very much, prime minister. 0n housing, isn t thanks very much, prime minister. 0n housing, isn t the thanks very much, prime minister. 0n housing, isn t the really thanks very much, prime minister. 0n housing, isn t the really big housing, isn t the really big problem housing, isn t the really big problem here housing, isn t the really big problem here in housing, isn t the really big problem here in this - housing, isn t the really big i problem here in this country housing, isn t the really big - problem here in this country that we simply problem here in this country that we simply don t problem here in this country that we simply don t have problem here in this country tha
