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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how much funding his Department plans to make allocate to Homes England for the (a) compulsory purchase and (b) demolition of unsuitable housing to provide larger areas of housing regeneration.

As the Chancellor stated in his Autumn Budget 2017 speech, over the next five years the Government will commit a total of at least £44 billion of capital funding, loans and guarantees to support our housing market.

This funding will be used for a variety of purposes, including for compulsory purchase, but also for identification of sites, supporting small and medium enterprise builders, guarantees to support house building, transforming our rundown estates and more.
