Housing
The motion
As an amendment to motion S5M-07613 in the name of Adam Tomkins (Housing), leave out from "a national housing" to second "infrastructure" and insert "this should have a particular emphasis on building new homes for social rent, with increased targets to re-establish it as a valid long-term option for people; considers that, alongside an increase in housing supply, changes to social security are required to improve options and security, such as returning housing benefit to young people; recognises that the aspiration to build new properties and transform hundreds of thousands of existing properties into sustainable warm homes is dependent on the availability of skilled labour; believes that college cuts and the UK Government's policies in relation to Brexit and immigration jeopardise the ability find this".
