England must launch the biggest council and social house
building drive in its history to rescue millions of people from a future in
dangerous, overcrowded or unsuitable homes, a cross-party commission has told

according to a year-long housing commission launched in the wake of the
Grenfell Tower disaster. The call represents a direct challenge to Tory
ministers to dramatically increase social house building from its current level
of just over 6,000 homes a year. Read more on the Guardian website.
