michael gove, looking at that picture, it is bleak.said the system is broken, so who broke it? all of the areas you have drawn attention to are areas where we are taking action now. we are taking action to increase the supply of homes overall and it is important to stress that there have been 2.5 million homes built since 2010 and that if you look over the last 13 years the four years with the highest number of new homes was 2019. who broke the system? there are a variety of different factors that have driven the challenges that we face. one has been the pressure particularly in our cities. sometimes as a result of overseas investment but certainly as a result of population growth. the other thing has been the need to ensure that we have a pipeline of new homes and that's why we are taking action this week, and we already have been in preceding months, to increase the supply, particularly in our cities where the demand is greatest. and our third factor which i think is important to bear in mind as well, is access to mortgage finance. i
