Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
What steps he is taking to support first-time house buyers.
Getting people on the housing ladder realising their dream of owning a home has been a long held conservative value. I am proud that since Spring 2010, over 800,000 households have been helped to purchase a home through Government-backed schemes, including Right to Buy and shared ownership.
And the annual number of first-time buyers was at a 20-year high in 2021.
