Should We Just Build More Homes in Southern England?
As a historian, surely you value British heritage and the manicured countryside. Yet my economists friends tell me we need millions more homes in southern England. What's your view? Well, I'm not an economist, so you will have a much more informed view on this. And I hate the impoverishment of our wildlife, of our biodiversity. If we had the space that you have in America, growth might be much easier than it's proving to be. So that sets up for us a very painful decision about what matters more: economic growth, economic success or the sustaining of the countryside?"
