John
Healey MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Housing, responding to the Tories’
announcement to extend the Help to Buy scheme, said:
“This
is yet another policy from the Tories that will only help the few, not the
many.
"Britain
is suffering from a housing crisis, with home ownership at a 30-year low and
900,000 fewer under 45s now owning a home since 2010.
"Young
people held back by a broken housing market don’t need Theresa May’s gimmicks
but the mass building programme of genuinely affordable homes to rent
and buy that Labour put forward in our manifesto.”
