Shelter’s response to the news that James Brokenshire MP will take up the new role as Secretary of State for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
May 1, 2018
Responding to the appointment of a new Secretary of State at the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, Shelter’s CEO Polly Neate said:
“We welcome James Brokenshire into his new role as Secretary of State at the Ministry of Housing Communities & Local Government. He will be taking up the role at a critical time, in the midst of the biggest housing emergency in decades.
“With the lowest levels of social housebuilding since the second world war and rough sleeping is its highest for a decade, we hope the new Secretary of State will take the bold action needed to fix our broken housing market. We very much look forward to working with him to achieve this.”
