Liberal Democrat Party President Tim Farron has slammed Labours plans for housebuilding, pointing to their terrible record when in government.

By the time they left office the number of new homes being built had fallen to its lowest level since the 1920s and the number of families waiting for a social home nearly doubled from 1 million to 1.8 million.

Commenting, Tim Farron MP said:

Labour want us to pretend that the housing problems we face in Britain are nothing to do with them, but they totally failed to deal with the issue in office.

Under Labour, the number of affordable homes fell by 421,000. They have no right to lecture about how we solve a housing problem they did not nothing to address.

Labour didnt have the solutions in government and they dont have the solutions now. Building 200,000 houses a year is an unambitious target that does not even keep up with household demand.

The Liberal Democrats plan for 300,000 new homes a year would help clear the backlog and address Britains housing problems.
