answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>The Government is clear that in order to help make home ownership affordable for more people, we need to deliver more homes. We introduced a set of planning reforms in the revised National Planning Policy Framework to help towards achieving this ambition. One such measure is the Housing Delivery Test, which shows where the housing needs of communities are and are not being met. The 2018 results show that local authorities are rising to the challenge with over two thirds of authorities delivering the numbers of homes their communities need. <strong> <br> <br></strong></p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 09/09/2019 15:14:57 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
