We are in a housing crisis and by all accounts this legislation will be quite robust and positive in terms of standards and consumer protection. That gives me concern. There will be a race to build all those houses that we need to supply to the market. Often people cut corners when under pressure. That is where we must be careful. Do the hubs fall under CIRI? At the moment there is a rapid build programme to supply homes to thousands of people who find themselves homeless and in dire circumstances.
