Ministers appear to realise that and an overdue attempt is being made to speed up infrastructure and housing delivery. Meanwhile, pressure is being put on the local authorities to increase the supply of zoned land – and the Government is hoping for a response on rental supply.

England captain Maro Itoje leaves the pitch upon being substituted during the Six Nations defeat to Ireland at Twickenham, England. Photo by Brendan Moran/SportsfileIt feels a long time since we were making our pre-Six Nations predictions and for most of us it’d be better if those projections stayed buried deep.
