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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many of the 65,000 homes set to be built on public land by 2020 under the public land for housing programme will be for social rent.

Data on affordable homes, including those for social rent, is being collected by Ordnance Survey for both Public Sector Land Programmes. We will include this in the next progress report. The data will set out the number of planned affordable homes on former public sector land sites, which are agreed between the developer and the local authority according to local needs.
