00:00Labour councils and Labour MPs know that we've got a housing crisis and they've
00:04been very supportive of our manifesto pledge which was 1.5 million homes and
00:09knowing full well that that meant we had to really drive that that housing that
00:13we need across all areas and that's what I set out today with the consultation on
00:17the new MPPF because what we need is all areas to recognise the crisis we have
00:23and then do something about it and we're going to help them do that by driving
00:27through these changes so that we get the houses we desperately need.
