We have been entertained by the notion that no Tory council is nimbyist and that all Tory councils want to build houses. I assume, therefore, that the early-day motions tabled by the hon. Gentleman’s colleague, which oppose house building in almost every region, must have been an administrative error. The hon. Gentleman is now struggling, however. He has yet again named one development to which he is clinging like driftwood. It may be that one development does not suit, or that another could be better. Does he, however, support overall the Mayor’s target?
