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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what progress his Department has made on building affordable homes.

The provision of affordable housing is a key element of the Government's plan to build more homes, tackle homelessness and provide aspiring homeowners with a step onto the housing ladder. The Government has committed an £11.5 billion taxpayer-funded grant towards the supply of new affordable homes.

Since 2010, we have delivered over 598,900 new affordable homes, including over 419,200 affordable homes for rent, of which, over 157,200 homes are for social rent’.
