Housebuilders are pressing the Government to give them more credit for meeting new home targets to counter fierce criticism that they are failing to deliver.
The Housebuilders Federation says its members are well on the way to provide the million homes the Government has challenged the industry to build between 2015 and 2020 but complains ministers have been doing more to provide ammunition for critics.
The Prime Minister has made recovery in house building a key policy objective and is pressing the industry to make the most of the incentives provided to ease a chronic shortage.
