Which housing scheme saw 800,000 homes built?

• A. New Towns
• B. Welfare Housing
• C. National Housing Plan
• D. Homes for All

Answer: (D)

After World War II Britain faced a massive housing shortage, and the government launched a nationwide push to provide affordable homes for all. This broad Homes for All program was the vehicle for a large-scale public housing drive across the country, aiming to replace slums and overcrowding with council housing. The other options describe different kinds of housing initiatives—new towns are about planned developments, welfare housing is a broader term for public housing, and a national housing plan would outline policy rather than deliver a specific nationwide build-out. Because Homes for All specifically represents the nationwide effort to produce a very large number of homes for public housing, it best fits the description of 800,000 homes built.
