London mayor and minister at war over housing

摘要

Sadiq Khan has accused the government of trying to "run roughshod" over his efforts to draw up a London Plan, after communities secretary Robert Jenrick ordered him to make significant changes and savaged his housebuilding record. Responding in a letter to Khan's submission of his new London Plan last December, Jenrick blasted the mayor's record of housing delivery over the past three years, writing that the average of 37,000 homes was "well below" Khan's own assessment of housing need.
