ABSTRACT
The New Labour Government (NLG) originally set out four main types of housing policy: making the market work; empowering individuals; ensuring best value in housing services; and strengthening communities (Armstrong 1999; Kemp 1999; Somerville 2000). Seven years on, it is timely to review the performance of NLG in the light of (among other things) the evidence, argument and analyses contained in this book.
