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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what estimate he has made of the number of people who own their home on a (a) freehold and (b) leasehold basis in England; and if he will make a statement.

My Department has recently published estimates of the number of leasehold dwellings in England. These can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/estimating-the-number-of-leasehold-dwellings-in-england-2015-to-2016
