This is what we heard from ministers and experts including Clarion’s chair David Orr, Kate Markey of the Nationwide Foundation, MP Dame Meg Hillier, Kate Henderson of the National Housing Federation, Priya Nair of The Housing Finance Corp. Ltd., Melanie Leech of the British Property Federation, and MP Torsten Bell. Sarah Williams reports: https://lnkd.in/etuaXxee #UKhousing #HousingFinance #SocialHousing #UKgovernment
