520 _aExamines housebuilding industry trends in the context of John Prescott's plan to build 200 000 homes in housing growth areas by 2016. Notes that the drop in private sector housing starts in the first quarter of 2005 was greater than average across the industry with a fall of 9% compared with last year. The latest strategy by the government to stimulate output is to release more public land for development and to offer new forms of low-cost home ownership but this is unlikely to improve the situation for the next five years.
