Andrew Lewer founded and Chairs the All-Party Parliamentary Group for SME Housebuilders in Westminster. This has nearly 300 industry members. Although a Conservative MP, it is in this cross-party and industry-led spirit that he presents 'The Builders' Manifesto'. House building is likely to be at the top of the political agenda in the General Election. Therefore, it is an ideal time to present ideas originating in the sector itself to all parties to ensure that aspirations to build more houses as a nation become a reality.
