Empty Property
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate his Department has made of the number of empty properties there are in the UK.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
Statistics on empty properties in England are published annually and can be found on gov.uk. Data on vacant homes is not broken down by constituency.
Housing policy is a devolved matter, so information for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland is held by the respective devolved administrations.
