The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 4 July 2025 to Question 62977 on Housing Construction, what financial guarantees for housing will be provided by her Department for 2025-26.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

As of 30 June 2025, MHCLG has provided £270 million of financial guarantees for housing in the 2025-26 financial year.

My Department’s guarantees schemes are demand-led and it is therefore not possible to estimate the total guarantees the Department will provide in the 2025-26 financial year.
