Russell Pedley, co-founder of Assael Architecture, comments on the appointment of a new housing minister

Russell Pedley, co-founder of Assael Architecture, said:

“The appointment of Kit Malthouse as the new Minister of State for Housing is welcome news, but four ministers in two years highlights the Government’s frivolous attitude towards the crisis and adds to political instability feeding through to the housing sector. We are yet to have clarity around questions of design, quality and delivery methods concerning the homes we build. Another ministerial shift within a year is likely to aggravate the issues that our housing market faces.”
