Boris Johnson says no-confidence vote win ‘decisive’ despite mass Tory rebellion
Levelling up secretary Michael Gove has said new social housing would be produced “instantly” to replace homes bought by low-earners under the government's latest housing plans.
When asked how quickly new social homes would replace those bought under the scheme, Mr Gove said: “Instantly”
“Overall, we want to be in a position where we're increasing social homes, increasing the number of homes that are there for ownership, and ensuring that in the stock of social homes as people move from renting to ownership so that we replace those numbers as well,” he told Good Morning Britain.
Boris Johnson is expected to announce the policy today in a visit to Blackpool as he attempts to turn the political tide with a raft of new policies aimed at easing the housing crisis.
The policy will let people use their benefits to help get on the property ladder, as part of a set of announcements aimed at easing the housing crisis.
