Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate he has made of the proportion of the starter homes land fund that has been spent to date.

We estimate that some £250 million of the Starter Homes Land Fund has been spent to date. Following the announcement of the new Land Assembly Fund at Budget 2017 we are reviewing the operation of the Starter Homes Land Fund. The new Fund is part of a package of housing measures announced to ensure our Housing White Paper commitments are delivered.
