Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, with reference to rising house prices, what recent steps he has taken to help first-time buyers own a property.
We committed in the Levelling Up White Paper to supporting more first-time buyers onto the housing ladder. Since 2010, Government-backed schemes have helped over 758,000 households to purchase a home, including Help to Buy and Right to Buy. Our new First Homes scheme provides homes discounted by at least 30% for first-time buyers.
