Mr Glover previously presented a backbench bill to parliament, which if passed would mean that housing targets are accompanied by additional targets for healthcare, education and transport services.

Speaking in the House of Commons, he said: “My constituents recognise the need for affordable housing, but the current planning system isn’t delivering the GP surgeries, dentists and transport options that they need.

“Will the Prime Minister restore faith in the planning system and as well as focussing on housing numbers, deliver the local targets for health services and wider infrastructure that growing communities need?”

Keir Starmer replied that the government was building 1.5m homes and new communities must include key infrastructure.

He said: “Just today, Mr Speaker, we announced an additional £350m to deliver more affordable homes so more people can realise the dream of home ownership.”

The bill presented by Mr Glover is due to go for a second reading before Parliament in June.
