Answered by Kris Hopkins
Statistics on the amount of dwelling stock in England by tenure are published in the Department's live table 104, which is available at the following link:
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-dwelling-stock-including-vacants
This provides the total amount of stock owned by Private Registered Providers (housing associations) and local authorities but does not provide any further breakdown.
More detailed information on housing stock owned by local authorities, including a breakdown between those for social rent and those for affordable rent, for 2011-12 and 2012-13 only, can be found in the dataset that accompanies the Department's annual Local Authority Housing Statistics release. Information on housing stock for intermediate rent and affordable home ownership is not collected separately. For 2011-12 and 2012-13, these datasets can be found here:
