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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what steps he is taking to improve the supply of social housing in (a) Huddersfield constituency and (b) the wider Kirklees area.

The Government understands the importance of social housing to maintaining communities, both in the Hon. Member's constituency and right across the country.

That is why, through our £11.5 billion Affordable Homes Programme we will deliver significant volumes of social housing, including homes for social rent, to ensure that hard working families and individuals can live in safety and security in the communities they call home.
