In some years they built more than 400,000 houses. Today we can't
manage even 300,000.

That's because Gordon Brown caused a serious recession and people
couldn't easily pay for new houses. Whole "new towns" have been put on
hold as a result.

I'm not one to defend Gordon Brown, but the reduction in housing completions
began long before he was Chancellor.
