Giving housing in the North a voice in parliament
We spoke to Ian Mearns, MP for Gateshead and Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Housing in the North, which the NHC acts as secretariat for. We asked Ian to reflect on establishing the APPG with the support of the NHC, what the impact has been and what progress has been made for housing in the North.
Huge thank you to Ian for being a brilliant friend and supporter of the NHC over the years and good luck on your retirement after 41 years in politics!
