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

To ask Her Majesty's Government what adjustments they will make, if any, to (1) the target of delivering one million homes in the forthcoming five years, and (2) the Housing Delivery Test methodology, following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Building the homes the country needs is vitally important, and we are committed to working with partners to find a safe way of continuing work across the country during this difficult time. Over the last few days we are beginning to see more developers reopening sites following careful consideration of public health guidance. And together, we will continue to work towards our goal to get Britain building again. We note the concerns some authorities are raising on the housing delivery test and we will continue to monitor the situation.
