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

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

As submitted to this House in May 2018, £250 million of the Starter Homes Land Fund has been spent to date. No further spending has occurred since this statement was made. Sites purchased through this fund are being used by Homes England to deliver more homes, including affordable homes.

The remaining funds initially allocated to the Starter Homes Land Fund have been used to support other Homes England programmes to increase the supply of homes, including affordable homes.
