The head of the department of housing says that “positive indicators” have emerged in terms of increasing housing supply, but that “major challenges” remain.

The department’s secretary general Graham Doyle will on Thursday tell the Public Accounts Committee that in 2023 the number of new homes delivered was up 10% on that delivered in 2022, exceeding the Government’s overarching Housing For All plan by nearly 13%, with 32,695 properties completed over the 12 months.
