Comment on Every year for the last 40 years, France has built more homes per person than England.

I’d be interested to know exactly what the Tories did to discourage private building.
Personally I’d rather blame the development companies who have been openly accused of limiting building numbers. To increase profits value of properties they do build.

Hmm… Why would the party of private interests and profit result in a downturn in building and higher profits for private interests?
That’s a tough one.

I asked what they did to cause it. Not why it happened.
IE How did having the Tories in charge. Directly help building companies not build. That was not possible with labour in charge before 2010
