- Meeting date: 19 March 2014
Further to your holding answer to Question No: 2014/0974, the Bishops Avenue in Barnet has become a stockpile of unused and empty mansions worth around £350m. Will you underwrite action by Barnet council to repossess one or more of the empty homes on the Bishops Avenue to help meet housing need? And will you lobby actively for a mansion tax on such empty homes to ensure the owners bring them back into use? Will you now give a substantive reply?
