Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children – in the Senedd at 2:48 pm on 5 April 2017.
Thank you for that response, Cabinet Secretary. In the period between 1945 and 1979—the social-democrat period of British history—a large number of council homes were built. When Britain was governed by those well-known left-wing politicians, Winston Churchill, Harold MacMillan and Stanley Baldwin, Britain built millions of council houses and flats. In the period since then virtually no houses have been built and the actual number has reduced due to the right to buy. Will the Minister join me in congratulating Swansea council on commencing to build council houses at Milford Way and Birchgrove in Swansea?
