(asked on 27th March 2017) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many starter homes were built in (a) 2015 and (b) 2016.
This question was answered on 4th April 2017
Starter homes form an important part of our action to help over 200,000 people become home owners by the end of the Parliament as set out in our Housing White Paper: Fixing Our Broken Housing Market. We have made strong progress developing a framework for starter homes through the Housing and Planning Act 2016; planning reforms; and the £1.2 billion starter homes land fund. We expect the first starter homes to start being built later in 2017.
