Britain needs EU workers to help meet new homes building targets

"It won't be councils denying planning permission for new council homes under Labour, it will be Labour denying entry to the EU workers travelling here to build them," Nick Cott, Liberal Democrats candidate for Newcastle North says.

"10% of our construction industry workforce is made up of EU citizens, but - just like the Tories - Corbyn's Labour has failed to back free movement from the EU. Under Labour, the workforce we rely on will no longer be available in the UK.

"We can only build the homes Britain so badly needs if we stop Brexit and a Liberal Democrats government will do just that. We are the only party with a bold plan to stop Brexit and build a brighter future."
