Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick has denied suggestions that planning decisions and Government policy are being influenced by donations to the Conservative Party.
Labour claimed “growing concerns about sleaze at the heart of government” means notes of all meetings between Mr Jenrick, his advisers or Downing Street officials with developers who are also party donors should be published.
Shadow housing secretary Steve Reed also questioned if Mr Jenrick was “paying back developers by selling out communities”, a claim dismissed as a “low point” by the minister.
In December, Mr Jenrick confirmed the Government remains committed to building 300,000 new homes a year in England despite revising the way targets are calculated.
