We are absolutely determined to work with other Government Departments to ensure we maximise the amount of surplus public land we dispose of. As has been very clear in these discussions, there is a consensus across the House that we need to do everything we can to increase the number of homes being built.
Mr Christopher Chope (Christchurch) (Con)
T4. In congratulating my right hon. Friend on his new position, may I seek his confirmation that he will support district councils that wish to retain their independence and status in two-tier local authorities?
Sajid Javid
We have no plans to change the tiering of authorities. My hon. Friend has my commitment that I will take that very seriously.
