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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what is the most recent assessment of the timeline for delivering the Government’s 1.5 million new homes target; and whether, following the change in Prime Minister, this target remains the same.

The government remains committed to its hugely ambitious milestone of building 1.5 million safe and decent homes in England in this Parliament. Progress will be measured through the number of net additional dwellings, and we will update Parliament in the usual manner.
