The Rt Hon Christopher Pincher MP, Minister of State for Housing

Christopher Pincher MP is the Minister of State for Housing. First elected to Parliament in 2010, the Tamworth MP brings a wealth of experience to the new role, having also served as Minister of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. One of Christopher priorities will be increasing the UK’s housing supply and helping first-time buyers get a foothold in the market. The landscape sector will undoubtedly be keen to work with the minister and the department to ensure that new developments deliver for people, place and nature.
