To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, how many houses were built in (a) Romford and (b) the Borough of Havering during the last 5 years.

These cover new build dwellings only and should be regarded as a leading indicator of overall housing supply.

The department also publishes an annual release entitled ‘Housing supply: net additional dwellings, England’, which is the primary and most comprehensive measure of housing supply.
