Labour demands £1.1bn housing rescue package
Ministers told to give social sector the support it needs after Grenfell disaster
Labour called yesterday for a £1.1billion post-Grenfell “rescue package” for social housing.
The party called on Theresa May to make good on her commitment to social housing after the Grenfell Tower fire and divert government funds set aside for its failed starter homes project into affordable housing.
Shadow housing secretary John Healey said the Prime Minister would receive cross-party backing for the proposal.
