More about this inquiry
To increase housing supply and meet its 300,000 homes a year target, the Government has stated that we need a diversified housing market which embraces innovation, including MMC. However, MMC manufacturers have faced major challenges over the past year and a number of companies have gone into administration or halted production.
This inquiry seeks to understand the barriers to the increased delivery of MMC homes and to whether the Government’s approach to supporting the growth of MMC development is appropriate or effective.
This inquiry has its own webpage. The committee’s work can be followed on its website and via X (Twitter).
