SUMMARY:Labour’s Plan to get Britain Building Again
URL:https://policyexchange.org.uk/labour-party-conference-2023/
DESCRIPTION:The housing crisis is one of the most acute public policy challenges facing the United Kingdom. In recent months\, the Labour Party has sought to draw dividing lines on the subject with the Government\, and to set out its plan for delivering the new housing supply that the country desperately needs. This panel will consider the specific measures a Labour Government would adopt to expand the UK housing stock.\n\nEach panellist will have the chance to put forward the key interventions that they would like to see\, after which there will be an opportunity to debate the various proposals and to engage with audience questions.\nSome of the themes that might come up include:\n•	Planning and Regulatory Reform: how can we develop a planning system that offers more certainty to developers\, balances interests more proportionately\, and delivers high quality housing in the places where it is needed? Should Labour reform the green belt? Should binding housing targets be reintroduced?\n•	Development Corporations and New Towns: Labour has said that new towns will be the “building blocks” of its plan to deliver new homes and economic growth. How will they work? And will Labour reform the legislation on Compulsory Purchase Orders to achieve this?\n•	Support for SMEs: Aside from the initiatives that will support the entire sector\, how can Government specifically help smaller housebuilders\, who face specific challenges when it comes to accessing finance and labour with the requisite skills?\n•	Social Housing: could a new generation of social housing offer affordable dwellings and badly needed counter-cyclical investment? How can Government support the construction of these new homes?\n•	Devolved Authorities: can the Combined Authority model potentially provide a flexible and effective framework for the delivery of new housing? What is the significance of the new trailblazer deals struck in Manchester and the West Midlands?\n\nSpeakers\n•	Brian Berry\, Chief Executive\, Federation of Master Builders (FMB)\n•	Anya Martin\, Co-Director\, PricedOut\n•	Dan Norris\, Metro Mayor for West of England\n•	Sandi Rhys Jones OBE\, FCIOB\, President\, the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB)\n•	Dr James Vitali\, Head of Political Economy\, Policy Exchange	(Chair)\n\nLineup is subject to change.
