Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many proposals in the Government's 2017 Housing White Paper (a) were made and (b) have been implemented.
Our Housing White Paper sets out a long term and comprehensive strategy, with dozens of proposals to release more land for homes where people want to live; build the homes we need faster; get more people building homes; and support people who need help now.
Since then, we have continued to take action to make our housing market work better, including:
Planning reforms to ensure more land is available for housing and maximise the potential of our cities and towns to build new homes whilst protecting the Green Belt;
Launching Homes England, bringing together money, expertise, planning and compulsory purchase powers;
Lifting Housing Revenue Account borrowing caps so local authorities can deliver a new generation of council housing;
More than £15 billion of new financial support over the next five years, taking total financial support to at least £44 billion to 2022/2023. This will boost the delivery of housing and use funds flexibly to unblock the barriers to more housebuilding;
Publishing a Green Paper which sets out a new deal for social housing in England;
Measures to rebalance the relationship between tenants and landlords to deliver a fairer, good quality and more affordable private rented sector;
And reforms to make sure the leasehold system in England is fair and transparent to the consumer.
Taken together, our reforms put us on track to create, fund and drive a fairer housing market that delivers 300,000 homes a year on average by the mid-2020s.
