A report published by the Parliamentary housing committee found the government will not be in a position to deliver 300,000 homes by the mid-2020s. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister said it is important that new building homes did not come at the expense of the countryside. He criticised Labour's plans as "inflationary" and saying "they would be the ingredients of an acid that would corrode the foundations of economic recovery".
