"Down in the south, it's how we find the brownfield sites without taking too much land take to meet the tremendous demand for housing, and that's what I've done."

Land

"We've given more resources. On housing, we are now establishing a regional housing pot."

Now

"We are making the fundamental changes. It was like the decent housing target. We said by 2010, we'd have taken a million houses and refurbished them into decent housing."

Houses

"I was the one that brought it in, but not only for the north-east, for every area so we can develop all the regional economies, lift up the national productivity, get greater wealth and share it more evenly."

Wealth

"The choice is not normally between the north and south. It might be between Britain and Europe."

Choice

"Why can't we, with a more intelligent policy, actually have houses that are affordable, built at higher densities than they are at the moment and built on brownfield sites."

Policy

"I have only been seeking to get them to the negotiating table and, thank God, that's where they are."

Progress

"In a sense, what we do with the regional development agencies is to give them resources to look at the deficiencies in the economy in the regional areas, so they can address themselves to that."

Development

"We believe the 36, nearly 40, billion pound discount given for a right to buy houses took a million houses out of the public housing sector which is desperately needed for rent."
