New housing minister Robert Jenrick has re-committed the
government to building 300,000 homes a year and suggested the number might

also have to renew our enthusiasm for transforming quality design in the supply
of homes so we can build a greener and a better Britain,” he told an event
hosted by Policy Exchange and Create Streets. Read more on the Housing Today
