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

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have any plans to publish regularly the numbers of unoccupied homes in each English local authority area.

Statistics on vacant dwellings in England and in each local authority district are published in the Ministry’s live table 615 (attached) which is available at the following link. This table shows the annual total numbers of empty homes and those vacant longer than six months and also vacants in the local authority, housing association and other public sector tenures.

The number of long-term vacant dwellings across England remains lower than when records began.
