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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to her comments during her interview on Times Radio on 19 August 2026, that 'councils have built more houses in the last year than they have done since records began in the early nineties', if she could provide the housing completion figures for 2025/26 that support that claim.

In 2024-25, councils delivered 10,572 homes, the highest number since records began in 1991-92. Live tables on affordable housing supply can be found on gov.uk here.
