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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether he has made an assessment of the impact of trends in the level of social housing provision in Huddersfield on the Government's levelling up agenda.

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.
