The Conservative Party is the party of homeownership. It was Harold Macmillan who, as Housing Minister in Winston Churchill’s post war government, oversaw 300,000 homes being built a year. It was Margaret Thatcher who implemented a Right to Buy policy that enabled millions, who had previously been denied the opportunity, to own their home. It is David Cameron who has introduced Help to Buy to help hundreds of thousands of people to get on the housing ladder.

Do you have a view on housing and housing policy? Please do come along for what will be a lively discussion.  There is a background paper to this discussion which will help form part of the discussion.  This paper can be emailed to you in advance of the meeting, please email [email protected] with the subject heading: CPF Housing Paper and a copy will be sent to you, or it will be circulated at the meeting.

The meeting is free to members
