Mr Gove also told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the government would do everything it could to hit its target of building 300,000 houses a year in England by the mid-2020s.

His predecessor, former Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick, warned against missing the target, saying: "People are homeless today because we're failing to build those houses."
