Local Government Bill

Dr Brian Iddon (Bolton South East, Labour)
In affluent areas such as the south and south-east, where the Government in the past have invested in housing and the price of housing has gone up to what I consider, from a northern perspective, to be astronomical levels, is it not fair that the Government should have a share in that extra money to reinvest in housing in other parts of the country where there is greater need?
