Council Housing: West Midlands

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many council houses were built in the West Midlands between 2010 and 2024.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

Data on new affordable housing delivery by provider and region, including West Midlands, broken down by new build and acquisitions is available on gov.uk here.

The number of new affordable housing delivered without provider information (unknown provider) was higher prior to 2014-15 than it is currently. As such, breakdowns by provider, including the delivery by local authorities, should be interpreted with care prior to 2014-15.
