In our Housing White paper we set out our ambition for a housing market that works for everyone. We expect all housing developers to deliver good quality housing, deliver it on time and to treat house buyers fairly, resolving any problems quickly. All new homes are also subject to supervision by Building Control – local authorities and approved inspectors. DCLG Minsters will continue to raise the issue of quality regularly when they meet with the industry.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 03/07/2017 16:42:42 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
