Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of their ability to create new communities.

The Government is committed to promoting well-designed, healthy and inclusive places through flagship initiatives including the New Towns programme and Pride in Place. This includes the seven proposed new towns which government has recently consulted on, with the ambition of getting spades in the ground in at least three new towns by the end of this Parliament.
