The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether it is her Department's target to build 1.5 million houses by July 2029.

The government’s Plan for Change includes an ambitious milestone of building 1.5 million safe and decent homes in England in this Parliament. Progress will be measured through the number of net additional dwellings, and we will continue to update Parliament in the usual manner.
