London
PRIME Minister Theresa May on Monday urged developers to "do their duty" and build more UK houses, threatening that those who delay construction after winning planning permission will find it harder to get permits in the future.
Conscious that the all-consuming Brexit project is defining her government, Mrs May is trying to address concerns about rising housing costs that led many younger voters to turn their backs on her Conservative Party in the 2017 general election. Her challenge is to do this without upsetting older citizens who do vote Conservative and dislike houses being built near them.
