Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, if he will make it his policy not to have targets for local authorities on house building.

This Government is committed to making home ownership a reality for a new generation, and we must build homes in the places that people want to live and work. We want decisions about homes to be driven locally and we want to get more local plans in place to deliver the homes we need.

We will set out our approach on planning for housing in due course.
