Written Question
Housing: Construction
Monday 15th December 2025

Asked by: Lord Colgrain (Conservative - Excepted Hereditary)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many houses have been built in the UK since 4 July 2024.

Answered by Baroness Taylor of Stevenage - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)

The Government does not collect data on UK-wide housebuilding as housing is a devolved matter.

The Department publishes an annual release entitled ‘Housing supply: net additional dwellings, England’, which includes an estimate of the number of net additional dwellings in England since the start of parliament on 9th July 2025, and can be found (attached) on gov.uk here.

This estimate is also updated each quarter in the quarterly release series entitled ‘Housing supply: indicators of new supply, England’, available (attached) on gov.uk here.
