In a surprise recent cabinet reshuffle, Michael Gove has become the 12th minister in a decade to take on the mantle of solving the UK’s housing crisis. He replaces Robert Jenrick MP, who had shown keen support for the self and custom build homes industry. Build It hopes Gove will welcome Richard Bacon MP’s recent self build review, and continue the government’s drive towards greater choice and quality in housing as part of his ‘levelling up’ remit.
