A major theme of Labour’s general election campaign was the prime minister’s pledge to change the current planning laws in order to expedite the construction of more housing and infrastructure projects.
As they work to expedite the delivery of high-quality housing and infrastructure [the Planning and Infrastructure Bill], my ministers will get Britain building,” the King declared.
“They will also pursue sustainable growth by encouraging investment in industry, skills and new technologies.”
During her inaugural speech as chancellor last week, Rachel Reeves outlined Labour’s planning goals by declaring that she would reinstate mandatory housing objectives, which the Conservatives had removed.
The first female chancellor of the United Kingdom said that a new taskforce would be established “to accelerate stalled housing sites in our country”.
In line with Labour’s policy, she further assured that her government will construct 1.5 million new houses over the following five years.
The prime minister’s “fundamental mission” was to promote economic growth, which served as the foundation for Sir Keir’s policy agenda.
“Stability will be the cornerstone of my government’s economic policy, and every decision will be consistent with its fiscal rules,” the monarch stated.
