LSE academic mentioned in Parliament:
Building more homes
28 February 2017
During the debate on 'Building more homes' in the Economic Affairs Committee, Lord Layard mentioned LSE:
"Professor Cheshire at the London School of Economics has suggested a levy on the final value of a completed development, combining that with the change in presumption that I referred to earlier. There are many areas in which these ideas can be explored. The committee took no view on these issues but it made a clear recommendation that the Government should examine these proposals."
