The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what data the Greater London Authority provides to his department on affordable housing starts and completions in London.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The Greater London Authority (GLA) publish a detailed breakdown of their affordable housing delivery by programme every quarter. It can be viewed on its website here.

The GLA shares a detailed extract matching their published statistics with my Department shortly after their publication. This extract also includes the number of new social and affordable housing units funded through Right to Buy recycled receipts and the number of sales through the Right to Acquire and Social HomeBuy schemes.

Additionally, the GLA provides my Department with monthly updates on their delivery towards their housing programmes.
