The Government has welcomed new figures showing there was
an increase in the construction of new homes last year, but the figures remain

December 2014, according to the latest figures from the ONS, an 10% increase on
the year before. Meanwhile, the number
of homes that were completed in England in the same period reached 118,760, an
increase of 8% on the previous 12 months.
