General Election 12Th December
SNAPSHOT OF RESULTS IN THE NORTHERN REGIONS - NORTH EAST, NORTH WEST AND YORKSHIRE & HUMBER What does a Conservative government mean for housing? The Conservative Party has gained significant ground in Northern constituencies, making 30 gains, and taking control of constituencies which have been safe Labour seats for many decades. The last time the North had such a significant presence within a governing party at Westminster was after Tony Blair’s third victory in 2005. It is worth considering the potential impact of the national and regional results for housing in the North. Below, we re-cap what the Conservative manifesto promised on housing and regional investment and outline key results – where seats have changed parties, or new candidates have been elected Likely policy priorities for the new government The Conservative manifesto promised the levelling up of the regions and investment in Northern infrastructure and the Northern Powerhouse. With Conservative gains in many traditional Labour constituencies in the North, this pledge takes on greater resonance for those newly elected Northern Conservative MPs : we can expect the new government to have a greater stake and interest in the region. These are the headlines from the Conservative manifesto • A continued pledge to build 300,000 homes a year by the mid-2020s – but no target for social housing within the overall number. • Commitment to renew the Affordable Homes Programme. • Incentives for homeownership will be key to housing policy. • Full implementation of the Homelessness Reduction Act, and to end rough sleeping. • For private renters, a continued promise to scrap Section 21 and end no-fault evictions.

That is reflected in the nature of the protocol that is agreed as part of the withdrawal agreement and legislated for through the Wednesday 5 February 2020 European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2020. But of course the end result will depend on the free trade agreement negotiated between the UK and the EU, and it is too The House met at half-past Eleven o’clock early at this stage to speculate on the details of that. Northern Ireland does enjoy special protections in this PRAYERS process as a result of the protocol. Tony Lloyd (Rochdale) (Lab): The Minister was very careful not to answer my hon. Friend the Member for [MR SPEAKER in the Chair] Ilford North (Wes Streeting) as to whether there will be checks on goods travelling between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The First Minister is clear that there will be. The EU negotiator, Michel Barnier, is clear that Oral Answers to Questions there will be. Many people in industry and commerce in Northern Ireland believe that there will be. Does the Minister agree that there will be checks, or does he NORTHERN IRELAND say that there will not be checks, on goods going from GB to Northern Ireland? The Secretary of State was asked— Mr Walker: The Prime Minister has been clear.
