The claim

"It's this Conservative government that has built 244,000 homes in the last year which is a record over the last 30 years"

Original publisher’s rating

The figure of 244,000 is for the number of net additional dwellings - a broad definition of housing - in England between April 2019 and March 2020 - a 30 year record. It's worth noting that very few of the new homes are being built by government.
