England at 22.8% of Labour's 1.5 million homes target as Burnham pursues devolved housing plan

FullFact estimates England added 342,100 homes — 22.8% of the government's 1.5 million target. A Ministry of Housing assessment obtained by The Times said ministers expect to fall well short. Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham pledged 10,000 council homes by 2028 and urged suspending Right to Buy. Whitehall has not adopted this; his programme tests devolved housing delivery.
