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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what recent assessment she has made of (a) the adequacy of social housing provision and (b) the length of the waiting lists to access social housing.

With over 1.3 million people on social housing registers, the government is clear that there is a chronic shortage of social housing in England. That is why we are committed to the biggest increase in social and affordable housebuilding for a generation.
