The Housing Minister Announced as Speaker at NAEA Conference 2017
The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) has revealed that the Housing Minister will speak at its annual NAEA Conference this year.
Barwell joins a long list of industry figures already confirmed for the NAEA Conference, which is the largest of its kind. The event will be held on 9th February 2017 at 115 Bishopsgate, London.
The Housing Minister will outline the Government’s plans for housing now and in the future, and will take questions from the floor during his 20-minute question-and-answer session.
It is believed that Barwell will address the new £18m capacity fund for speeding up housebuilding on large sites, as well as his pledge to build the first wave of Starter Homes for first time buyers this year.
The NAEA Conference 2017 will be hosted by Sally Bundock, a business and finance journalist at the BBC, while the list of other speakers includes: Peter Andrews, of the Bank of England; Rightmove’s Miles Shipside; and Mark Palmer, from Pret a Manger.
The President of the NAEA, David Mackie, says: “Last year was a busy year for housing, and with the Housing White Paper due at the end of this month, 2017 is set to be even busier.
“The housing market continues to dominate the political and news agenda, so we’re thrilled to have secured the Housing Minister as a speaker at this year’s event. It’s now more important than ever that we understand what the Government has planned for housing in the immediate and longer term. The session will give attendees an opportunity to share their views with the Housing Minister on what’s affecting them within the sector, and to raise any views or concerns.”
