The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make an estimate of the proportion of the 1.5 million homes the Government aims to deliver during this Parliament expected to be built by (a) private sector developers, (b) social housing providers and (c) local authorities.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

Achieving the government’s ambitious Plan for Change milestone of building 1.5 million new safe and decent homes in England in this Parliament requires the contribution of a wide range of housing providers, including, but not confined to, local authorities, registered providers of social housing, and private developers.

The government has not made an estimate of the exact number of homes each type of housing provider will deliver in this Parliament.
