Last week’s reshuffle has brought a “change in tone” on housing, industry sources said following a meeting with the new Housing Secretary.

Steve Reed, who replaced Angela Rayner as Housing Secretary following her resignation last week, issued what officials described as a “call to arms” at a meeting with developers on Thursday.
