Mr Hill will meet MPs and local authority representatives and visit some of the most recent developments in affordable housing in the county.

He will see improvements to council properties in Falmouth and new homes in Gwel-an-Skol.

There will also be discussions about what can be done to tackle the shortage of affordable properties in the county.
