Welsh Parliament — the devolved, unicameral legislature for Wales
The Culture, Media and Sport Committee has urged reviving unused heritage buildings as a major, non-niche solution to Britain’s housing shortage. A heritage-to-housing scheme and tax incentives could help bring old buildings back into use, potentially delivering about 670,000 homes by 2029, as ministers face calls for broader VAT relief and better funding and training in heritage crafts.
The Prime Minister has met Scotland’s First Minister in Glasgow amid Commonwealth Games coverage, arguing for deeper devolution to spur growth while ruling out a new independence referendum. Both leaders commit to constructive engagement and addressing the cost of living.
