vaguely says it will reach it by the mid-2020s, which can clearly be read to
mean after the end of the next parliament in 2024. The actual pledge is for a
million homes in the next parliament. Now, while a million is clearly a lot of
homes those in the industry will know it equates to no more than are being
built now. Read more on Housing Today.
