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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what progress he has made on rolling out the Starter Homes initiative; and how many homes he expects to be available under that scheme by the end of the year.

The Government is committed to building 200,000 Starter Homes over the course of this Parliament, to be offered exclusively for young first time buyers at 20% below their market value. The Housing Bill will take forward legislation to ensure the delivery of Starter Homes.
