answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2018 answer text <p>There was no target to plant 11 million trees by 2015. The 2010 Conservative manifesto said “in addition to ongoing woodland creation, we will launch a national tree planting campaign, planting up to one million new trees in the next Parliament.” In the years from 2010-2015, it is estimated that through CAP funds, approximately 11 million trees were planted. The 2015 and 2017 manifestos both committed to planting 11 million trees over the course of the expected five-year parliaments to which the manifestos related.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 14/02/2018 12:57:07 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2018 answer text <p>Under the last Labour government, home ownership started falling from a peak of 63.9 per cent in 2003-04 for all homeowners between the ages of 16-44 to a low of 53.8 per cent in 2009-10.</p><p>The Government have put in place a wide ranging package of measures to improve homeownership. While overall homeownership rates have remained stable since 2013, they have declined for people under 45 since 2003. The best way to help young people to own their own home is to build more homes, and that is precisely what this Government is doing.</p><p>Already, over 1.1 million additional homes have been delivered in England since 2010, including over 217,000 in 2017 alone. Since 2010, over 357,000 affordable homes have been delivered, as well as the 443,000 households that have been helped into home ownership through Government schemes including Help to Buy and Right to Buy.</p><p>More still needs to be done to get more houses built. We will be working on this through the implementation of our Housing White Paper and the further measures we introduced in the Autumn Budget 2017. This includes reforms to Stamp Duty, which are expected to help 95 per cent of first-time buyers.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 22/02/2018 16:27:07 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
