At People's Question Time on 2 March 2023, Tony Devenish called out Sadiq Khan's disastrous plan on housing.
Tony explains
"In 2016 Mr Khan and I and many people here were elected for the first time and one of the biggest issues was the housing crisis.
"There was cross-party consensus.
"We needed to do more in London for housing.
"So, what has Mr Khan done in seven years?
"Not a lot is the answer. He's not even spent the billions of pounds the government's has given him to build homes.
"But at the start of tonight, he said something which I have to pick up; it's one of the most irresponsible things he's ever said! And he's said it before. He talks about rent controls.
"Rent controls would destroy the housing market in London. It would increase rent levels. People wouldn’t be able to rent their homes. And as Scotland has found, and Berlin and Ireland, it is an irresponsible policy.
"Mr Mayor, do something on housing. It’s a huge issue, we agreed in 2016 and you;ve done absolutely zilch."
Tony Devenish is the Assembly Member for West Central London, covering Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster.
