Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of a decrease in the number of people immigrating to the UK after the UK leaves the EU on house prices.

The Office of Budget Responsibility is responsible for monitoring macro-economic conditions, including house price changes, and produces short term forecasts based on leading indicators and medium-term forecasts informed by their house price model. The Department uses these forecasts to inform policy. We remain committed to delivering safe, secure and affordable housing to people across the country. Our exit from the EU will not change this priority. A key pillar of realising this commitment is our ambition to deliver 300,000 homes a year by the mid-2020s.
