Lord Dykes

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What measures they are planning to raise the level of house-building activity. [HL5997]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Communities and Local Government
(Baroness Andrews)

The Government recently announced measures to purchase unsold stock from developers through the Housing Corporation and to support the most critical regeneration schemes through working with regional development agencies. We have also brought forward moneys to support affordable housing this year. These measures aim to create confidence and stability in the building industry.
