The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what annual forecast she has made of the number of new social homes to be built in Birmingham and Solihull.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The government is committed to delivering the biggest increase in social and affordable housebuilding in a generation.

We will set out details of new investment to succeed the 2021-26 Affordable Homes Programme at the Spending Review.

This new investment will deliver a mix of homes for sub-market rent and homeownership, with a particular focus on delivering homes for Social Rent.
