Chancellor urged to lift cap to deliver homes

5th January 2018

London Labour housing spokesman Tom Copley has urged Philip Hammond to lift the borrowing cap for all councils to allow them to build more homes in the capital. In a letter to the Chancellor he wrote: "Many boroughs are delivering new council homes for the first time in decades and have ambitions to do far more - but their ambitions are not matched by their capacity to deliver and that capacity is artificially constrained by Government."
