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

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the level of new house building, and what plans they have to aid the development of new homes.

We have recommitted in our Plan for Change to deliver 1.5m homes over this Parliament to solve the housing crisis and boost economic growth.

This government has inherited an acute housing crisis and has taken urgent action to fix this, including through bold planning reform and an £800m top up to the current Affordable Homes Programme.

Housing delivery, particularly major developments, takes time, so we expect housing supply to ramp up over the parliamentary term as our changes take effect.
