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

To ask His Majesty's Government, under the new National Planning Policy Framework, where an authority does not have a five-year supply or scores below 75 per cent in its most recent Housing Delivery Test, under what conditions a need for additional housing would outweigh the requirement for affordable housing as defined in national or Mayoral policies, or those of the relevant authority.

I refer the Noble Lord to the answer given to question UIN HL2868 .
