Ministers slammed for slashing accessible housing targets

Disability News Service reports that ministers cut accessible housing targets previously set under Conservative plans, which would have required 100% of new homes to meet the M4(2) accessible standard. Work and Pensions Secretary Stephen Timms defended the decision as right, while critics, including disability campaigners, called the move unprincipled and a setback for disabled people needing suitable housing.

Why now: Disability rights campaigners are reacting to the government's retreat on accessible housing standards and a minister defending the cut.
