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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what the total (a) amount of funding from the public purse for new housing developments and (b) number of dwellings built using funds from the public purse in each local authority area was in each of the last 10 years.

This question could only be answered at disproportionate cost.

However, I am pleased to report that the statistics on affordable housing starts and completions funded by the Homes and Communities Agency and the Greater London Authority for April 2013 to March 2014 were released on 12 June 2014 and can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/affordable-housing-starts-and-completions-april-2013-to-march-2014. This shows that almost 200,000 new affordable homes have been delivered in England since April 2010.

Numbers of affordable housing delivered by each local authority between 2010-11 and 2013-14 can be found at:
