Written Question
Housing: Construction
Friday 6th March 2015

Asked by: Michael Meacher (Labour - Oldham West and Royton)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many (a) council houses and (b) affordable housing units have been built in each year since 1985.

Answered by Brandon Lewis

Statistics on additional affordable housing built or acquired in England since 1991-92, including those delivered by local authorities, are published in the Department’s live tables 1000 and 1009, which are available at the following link:

Statistics are not available prior to 1991-92. Affordable housing statistics include housing delivered by local authorities (councils) and Private Registered Providers (housing associations).
