Housing White Paper must be implemented, says FMB » » THE WAY ONLY WE’LL increase the number of new homes we are building is if Ministers act now to implement measures in the Government’s Housing White Paper aimed at removing barriers to small house builders, according to the Federation of Master Builders (FMB). ‘could start making a difference’ Responding to a report published today by the Local Government Association (LGA) on the quality of house building, Brian Berry, Chief Executive of the FMB said: “The LGA is right to highlight the slow rate of house building in England as we are currently still building significantly fewer new homes than we need to be to meet demand. Not only are we not building enough homes right now, but we’ve been under-building in this country for decades. To address this problem, it is vital that the Government acts on key proposals in the March 2017 Housing White Paper. The White Paper quite rightly emphasis the need to diversify the house building sector so it’s less reliant on a small number of house building companies. Six months after the White Paper was published, we’ve seen limited movement on a range of policies that if implemented, could start making a difference.” 8 » OCT 2017 » CL EARVI E W- UK .
