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

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the speech by the Foreign Secretary on 14 February, which current EU regulations or directives complicate planning and inhibit housebuilding in the UK.

This Government is clear that building more of the right homes, in the right places, is central to our vision. My department is working hard with the house-building sector to understand the opportunities that leaving the EU has for our housing objectives.
