Sir John Hayes:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, at
what rate he estimates the UK needs to build houses in order to cope with the
additional demand created by current levels of immigration.
Kit Malthouse:
The Government is committed to delivering the right homes in the right places.
We are making progress, and latest figures show over 222,000 new homes were
delivered in 2017/18 in England - the highest level of new homes delivered in
all but one of the last 31 years. But we are determined to do more in order to
deliver the homes communities need. That is why we have set out an ambitious
package of measures to deliver 300,000 homes a year by the mid-2020s. These
measures include over £44 billion of financial support, planning reforms and
scrapping housing revenue account borrowing caps so councils can deliver a new
generation of council housing.
