answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2018 answer text <p>The Government is committed to increasing the supply of houses and that requires a modern construction industry. Building more homes using modern methods of construction, including offsite and smart techniques, is a key part of this.</p><p>New technology has improved productivity, quality and choice in a range of sectors and we want to see the same happen in housing.</p><p>That is why the Housing White Paper talks about specific measures to stimulate the growth of modern methods of construction, including how we will help to create a pipeline of opportunities to give confidence to the sector and investors.</p><p>For instance, the Home Building Fund provides support to builders using modern methods of construction, in addition to custom builders and new entrants to the market. The Autumn Budget added a further £1.5 billion to the fund, specifically targeted at supporting small and medium-sized builders who cannot access the finance they need to build.</p><p>We are also delivering on our commitment to create a working group to look at the assurance, insurance and mortgages for modern methods of construction. The group, chaired by industry expert Mark Farmer, met for the first time in December.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 29/01/2018 14:59:46 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
