  • Public Accounts Committee Oral Evidence: Starter Homes, HC 88
    Public Accounts Committee Oral evidence: Starter Homes, HC 88 Thursday 22 October 2020 Ordered by the House of Commons to be published on 22 October 2020. Watch the meeting Members present: Meg Hillier (Chair); Olivia Blake; Barry Gardiner; Sir Bernard Jenkin. Gareth Davies, Comptroller and Auditor General, Aileen Murphie, Director, National Audit Office, and Marius Gallaher, Alternate Treasury Officer of Accounts, HM Treasury, were in attendance. Questions 1-114 Witnesses I: Jeremy Pocklington, Permanent Secretary, MHCLG, Tracey Waltho, Director General, Housing and Planning, MHCLG, and Nick Walkley, CEO, Homes England. Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General Investigation into Starter Homes (HC 275) Examination of witnesses Witnesses: Jeremy Pocklington, Tracey Waltho and Nick Walkley. Chair: Welcome to the Public Accounts Committee on Thursday 22 October 2020. We are here today to consider a National Audit Office investigation into starter homes. We all know that house building declined sharply after the financial crash in 2008. As part of the response to that, the coalition Government made a commitment in 2015 to build 200,000 starter homes at a 20% discount for first-time buyers under the age of 40. The spending review of that year promised £2.3 billion for the first 60,000 of those homes. The NAO’s investigation, however, found that while £192 million had been spent by July 2019, no starter homes had actually been built. We are bringing witnesses together today to tell us what has happened to starter homes, where the funding has gone and, crucially, looking forward, what the future is for affordable homes.

  • Sarah Owen MP Member of Parliament for Luton North
    Sarah Owen MP Member of Parliament for Luton North Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Department for Health and Social Care 39 Victoria Street London SW1H 0EU 9th April 2020 Dear Matt Debt of student nurses working to tackle the outbreak of covid-19 Over the last few weeks, we have seen the whole country united in our gratitude to those working night and day to keep our NHS going and look after our loved ones at this difficult time. If this coronavirus pandemic has proved anything, it is just how much we owe to those in the health service who are there for us when we need them most. Health Education England has announced that in response to the crisis 5,553 students from 35 universities had signed up to a paid placement as of Friday, rearranging their studies to respond to your own call for them to join the NHS frontline early. This is a testament to the hard work and sense of duty that those who work in our NHS feel, especially during these unprecedented times. We value the contribution of these nurses and, as MPs, will always stand with them. They are making a vital contribution in our national effort to beat the coronavirus. We ask you and your department to commit to doing all it can to support these nurses who will be facing the start of a new career like no one in our health service has before. Therefore, we are calling on the government to support these new nurses by cancelling the student debt they have incurred throughout their studies.
