There are many reasons why this country confronts a housing crisis. Conservative policy is not one of them: we’ve delivered over 2.5 million homes since 2010. Home ownership rates plummeted under the last Labour Government so we cannot afford to go back to square one.

We’re committed to advancing this progress, especially in Leeds. Leeds has been selected to develop a new quarter as a large part of the Government’s urban regeneration scheme, created in partnership with locally led urban development corporations, private sector and institutional investors. We’re also committed to renewing the Affordable Homes Programme that will deliver homes of all tenures and focus on improving housing estates.
