<p>I am very proud of this government’s record on housebuilding, with over 2 million
additional homes delivered since 2010. I am happy to clarify that it was this Conservative
Government which oversaw the highest level of new homes delivered in over 30 years
before the disruption of the pandemic, with 242,000 homes (a net increase in housing
supply) delivered between April 2019 and March 2020. Furthermore, under this Government
the number of new homes started in England is at a near 15-year high, and has risen
by 10% above pre-pandemic levels.</p><p>This Government knows that people are happier,
more secure and more rooted in their communities when they own their own homes. That
is why we are continuing to build on our record of delivering new homes, with housebuilding
starts increasing by 140% between 2009 and 2022.</p>
