Government response to Letwin's review likely to be weeks overdue

MHCLG had been due to give its assessment of the Conservative MP’s housebuilding report by the end of February

The government is not expected to comment on Sir Oliver Letwin’s review of house building rates for several weeks, well past its own deadline for commenting on the crucial report.

Ministers had been due to respond to the review, which the Conservative MP and former Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster had presented to ministers last October after an interim report had been published in June 2018, by the end of last month.

But that deadline was missed and Housing Today understands a response is not now expected until later in the Spring.
