Answer: Mr. Day: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans he has to ensure that his target for house building on brown-field sites is met. [94228] Ms Beverley Hughes: We have set in hand a number of policy initiatives to help authorities substantially increase their reuse of previously developed land.
