Conservatives accuse Labour of ‘softening rhetoric’ on housebuilding goal

Shadow housing minister Paul Holmes speaks in regards to the authorities’s announcement of £350m in funding for housebuilding.

Mr Holmes advised Sky’s Wilfred Frost the Conservatives "always support investment into building affordable housing", however added "we have to look at whether this is actually deliverable and I would argue it’s not."

He mentioned it "only delivers 2,500 affordable homes across the whole of the United Kingdom".

More broadly, he mentioned Labour themselves "don’t think they can achieve the 1.5 million houses that are needed across this country because of the fiscal decisions that the chancellor’s made".
