The figures come only a day after the government vowed to increase housebuilding, despite having previously watered down its pledge to build 300,000 new homes a year by the middle of this decade.
Asked whether the manifesto pledge of 300,000 new homes a year still stood, Mr Sunak said:"We are making progress, I'm proud of that progress and we're not stopping there.
Speaking today, Matt Downie, the chief executive of Crisis, said:"This is unacceptable. The Westminster government may have declared victory yesterday on a pledge to build one million homes in this parliament, but these figures highlight how out of touch they are." Labour's shadow homelessness minister, Paula Barker, said the figures were a"shameful indictment" of the government's record.
