Don’t cut London’s affordable housing quotas, Labour MPs urge ministers and mayor

Exclusive: Housing secretary and capital's mayor face calls from within party for rethink on homebuilding plans

Labour MPs are urging ministers and the London mayor to drop controversial plans to reduce affordable housing quotas in the capital in order to boost homebuilding.

MPs have said they are concerned about the proposals being drawn up by the housing secretary, Steve Reed, and the mayor, Sadiq Khan, in response to a sudden drop in new development in the capital.
