Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said that there was “no excuse” not to build the 1.5 million new houses that the workforce had promised in his election manifesto.
The government said it would achieve the objective of building houses in England by 2029, before the next general elections.
The BBC analysis shows that the number of new houses in England continued to fall during the first six months of work in power.
Addressing the BBC Sunday with Laura Kuensberg, Rayner said that work knew that hitting the target “was going to be really difficult”, given the trends in the construction of houses before entering the government – but said that She was determined to meet him.
The secretary of housing, communities and local governments said that in the month following taking office, she was asked if she wanted to review the housing objective of Labor.
“I was not going to abandon the target,” she said.
She said that she was personally “determined to achieve this goal of 1.5 million” and said that policies such as the reform of the planning system “would take time” to have an impact.
She added: “There is no excuse not to build these houses that people desperately need.
“And we hear business on this subject, because far too many people do not receive these houses.”
Labor hopes that the construction more houses will reduce the prices of housing and make the purchase and rental of houses more affordable, especially for young people.
Its objective means building an average of 300,000 new houses per year – a number not reached since the 1970s.
In recent years, the number of new houses built each year has been considerably lower than this figure.
The housing industry has expressed doubts about the housing housing target and if it can be achieved by 2029.
The construction industry warned that it was facing a chronic shortage of skilled workers.
There are also concerns about the availability of basic building materials, including bricks and wood.
And many housing experts do not know if private house manufacturers are able or ready to deliver enough new houses of new houses each year.
Accelerate the purchase of a house
It sometimes happens that the department of Rayner planned to accelerate the process of purchasing houses and to give more power to the tenants.
The government said it was planning to reduce transaction time by providing digital identity services and dates sharing.
Currently, he can take months for documents relating to the sale of a house to be exchanged and verified by mortgage companies and other people involved in the process.
The Government said that in the context of a fully digitized purchasing and sale process, “the key parts of information need – mortgage companies to the surveyors – will be immediately at hand, the identity checks necessary once “.
The housing service said that it was working with the real estate market and the land register to agree on rules on data sharing services and digital identification verification.
It is also planned to allow tenants to take control of their buildings more easily, through the right to manage.
The right to manage the right allows owners of lease houses to take the management of the building – even without the owner’s agreement – and gives them control of how their service costs are spent.
The government said that it would introduce changes to the lease and full ownership reform law on Monday.
The Minister of Housing and Planning, Matthew Pennycook, said that the reforms were based on the government plan to deliver “1.5 million safe and decent houses in the Parliament, and our continuous efforts to protect the suffering leases unfair and unreasonable practices “.
