Rayner: House-building can ramp up with new investment
Angela Rayner says changes to planning framework and new investment will help the government "ramp up" house-building to meet its pledge to build 1,500,000 homes before the next Parliament.
The deputy prime minister adds that disused brownfield sites are "exactly where we want to see that development".
