The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps she is taking to support first-time buyer households in (a) South Holland and the Deepings constituency and (b) Lincolnshire.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The affordability challenges facing prospective first-time buyers in Lincolnshire and across the country mean that too many people are now locked out of homeownership.

In addition to increasing the supply of homes of all tenures, the Government has committed to introducing a permanent, comprehensive mortgage guarantee scheme and to giving first-time buyers the first chance to buy homes.
