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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to reform Homes England as an Arm’s Length Body.

On 7 April 2025, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster asked all Departments to review all arms length bodies to ensure there is the appropriate Ministerial oversight of delivery and that we are maximising the efficiency and effectiveness of all parts of Government.

My department is actively engaging with this review and any reforms to our arms length bodies we choose to make will be announced in due course.
