SELF-BUILD HOUSING

Early day motion 965, tabled 20 January 2014 by Lord Mann (Labour). Signed by 9 members.

That this House notes the promise made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government to remove self-build housing from the community infrastructure levy; regrets the lack of progress in implementing this decision; and urges the Government to promptly institute this change and remove this unfair tax on those building their own home and give small building firms, home ownership and housing a much needed boost.
