PRESS RELEASE : Labour forcing families out of Wales [October 2022]

The press release issued by the Welsh Conservatives on 26 October 2022.

Commenting on the news that families may be forced to move to Scotland to receive social housing, Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Housing, Janet Finch-Saunders MS said:

“It is a national disgrace that families are being forced to consider leaving Wales as a result of 25 years of Labour failings.

“With almost 90,000 households on a social housing waiting list, how can Labour ministers genuinely say that we are a nation of sanctuary?

“The simple truth is that hard working families are paying the price for Labour’s housing crisis while Labour ministers look to waste £100 million on more politicians in Cardiff Bay.

“Labour ministers must stop avoiding responsibility for over two decades of inaction, put an end to their vanity projects and focus on building the houses that the people of Wales desperately need.”
