Public housing, private housing, infrastructure and other public construction works all grew in November 2016. More than 190,000 homes were added to the UK national stock in 2016, a rise of 11% on the previous year, according to data from the Office of National Statistics. The figures revealed the government is "on track" to meet its target of building one million new homes during the course of this parliament. But there are concerns that some parts of Britain will not be able to keep pace with demand.
