Answer from Hansard

The Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government (Angela Rayner)

We are building the homes this country needs through our £39 billion social and affordable homes programme, the £16 billion in the National Housing Bank and the most ambitious planning reforms in a generation. The Greater Manchester combined authority and its fantastic new mayor has received £258 million from the national housing delivery fund and Ministers have intervened to ensure that Stockport’s local plan is consulted on, so that we can provide the homes that Stockport needs.
