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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether the Government remains on track to achieve its target of 300,000 new homes a year by 2025.

Supporting the market to deliver 300,000 homes a year is largely unprecedented and presents a significant challenge. Our interventions are making a difference. Last year 222,190 homes were delivered, the highest in all but one of the last thirty years. This year numbers are expected to rise again, representing the 7^th consecutive year of growth. Good progress has been made and in the short to medium term the Government remains on track

We continue to monitor the market closely to ensure our interventions continue to meet the challenges faced in the longer term. We are committed to seizing every opportunity to boost housing supply, and are taking end-to-end action across the entire market. While the Government’s ambition to deliver 300,000 homes a year is rightly ambitious, it remains achievable.
