Tim Farron: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities
and Local Government, whether his Department remains committed to a target of delivering
one million homes by 2020; and what recent projections his Department has made
on whether this target will be met.
Gavin Barwell: The Prime Minister has been absolutely
clear that we need to build more homes. We remain committed to delivering one million new homes,
having doubled the housing budget to help us to so. Since the end of 2009, we
have delivered 900,000 new homes, and in the year to March 2016 permissions
were granted for 265,000 homes, up 8% on the previous year, thanks to the
reformed planning system.
