Public Accounts Committee: Unlocking land for housing

Committee hears from witnesses

The Public Accounts Committee will take oral evidence on how to unlock land for housing development. This scrutiny examines government spending, planning policy effectiveness, and barriers to releasing land that could increase housing supply—a key priority for the Labour government's housing agenda.

Housing affordability and supply are central to the cost-of-living crisis and economic stability. This PAC inquiry will assess whether current approaches to land release represent value for money and identify systemic blockages preventing development. Its findings will influence housing policy and public spending priorities.
