Social Rented Housing: Ely and East Cambridgeshire

Asked by Charlotte CaneLiberal DemocratMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentTabled Answered 28 November 2025UIN 92840

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, (a) how many new social houses have been built in the Ely and East Cambridgeshire constituency in each of the last three years, and (b) how many the Government intends to build in the constituency in the next three years.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The number of new social homes delivered, split by provider, geography and whether they are new build or acquisitions, can be found in the affordable housing supply statistics on gov.uk here.

On 2 July, the government set out its five-point plan for kickstarting a decade of social and affordable housing renewal. Taken together, the grant funding support and regulatory certainty and stability that this government is providing will enable Registered Providers to quickly ramp up investment in existing and new stock. Further detail can be found in the Written Ministerial Statement made on that day (HCWS771).
