The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether his Department has set incremental targets for its overall housebuilding target in this Parliament.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The government has not set incremental targets in respect of its Plan for Change 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 update Parliament in the usual manner.
