holding answer 12 July 2007

The Prime Minister has announced plans to raise the annual housing supply target for 2016 from 200,000 to 240,000 additional homes a year.

We have published a Housing Green Paper that sets out further details of our proposals, including Government's plans for the level of affordable housing to be delivered in the years covered by the Comprehensive Spending Review.

The detail of where additional affordable housing will be located is a matter for regional and local planning processes and functions.
