projections, which are a trend-based view of the number of households that would form
given projected population and previous demographic trends.</p><p> </p><p>The most

would observe that new home registrations rose by 30% in 2013 in England, the highest
since 2007; and are up 60% in London, the highest for over two decades, this is in

are falling (source: NHBC).</p><p> </p><p>More new council housing was started in
London last year than in all the 13 years for the last Labour Government combined.</p><p>
