Angela Rayner sets out Labour's plan for more houses

Well we see over 1/4 of the private rental sector where the decent home standards are not being met. So by extending Arabs law to the private sector, it means that we will improve people's health because we've seen far too many health hazards in the private rental sector, which is not fair on people who are paying high rents and they're not getting habitable homes where which keeps them healthy and safe. We've recognised some of the challenges and the problems. First of all, we know that we need to deal with the planning restrictions that we face. The Tories ripped up local housing targets. We want to reintroduce those. We want to use our mayoral models to get our new towns up and running and to really drive that housing planning that we need for the future. To be fair, some of the issues, challenges we're going to face around planning reform and you know, the affordable homes grant, the adapting that to make sure we can get that money out of the door that that might not happen in the first month, but we're certainly going to make sure that that's quickly available so that we can get those housing targets and we can get those homes built. Unfortunately, the Tories promised renters reform. They didn't do that. They promised to end no fault evictions. They haven't done that. We've got a renters program that will make people better off with better protections. The thing for me is about the prospect of being able to make the change. I've done nine years in opposition since I was elected. I relished the opportunity to prove to people why they elected me, to say I'm going to change this. I'm going to build those houses we need, I'm going to make those secure jobs that people can live and raise their families on. We've got to have that change in the UK and I'm very proud and looking forward to an opportunity to really show what we can do and what we can deliver. Whenever I speak to my mum, she said I saw you on the telly. So I presume she's just gonna turn around and say I saw you on the telly.
