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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, how much of the £10 million of seed funding allocated to the Modern Methods of Construction Taskforce in the Budget 2021 has been spent.

Details of Government spending are published on gov.uk.

We are tackling the barriers to increasing the use of modern methods of construction in the industry, giving us the potential to deliver homes cheaper and quicker, but it means we have to be joined up so that we have a sustained pipeline for these companies to be able to deliver these important new houses. Through our £11.5 billion affordable homes programme we are challenging the sector to increase the number of homes delivered through modern method of construction. Around 40% of current allocations made through the programme use modern methods of construction.

I refer the Hon Member to my answer to Question UIN 139221 on 13 February 2023.
