Housing white paper

摘要

The Modern Masonry Alliance has outlined its general support for the need for more housing and the Department for Communities and Local Government's housing white paper, Fixing our broken housing market, which was published on 7 February. The MMA supports the broad analysis and recognition of past problems limiting growth in housing numbers in the white paper, as well as the inclusion of helpful recommendations such as the promotion of, and aid for, small and medium-sized homebuilders. However, the white paper incorrectly attributes delays to shortcomings in traditional construction and is misinformed as to the contribution offsite construction methods can make in terms of numbers, long-term quality and immediate delivery.
