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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what estimate he has made of how many starter homes the Government's starter home scheme will deliver by 2020; and if he will make a statement.

The Government is committed to its manifesto pledge to build starter homes to help young first- time buyers into home ownership. We have made strong progress on delivery, through the Housing and Planning Act, planning reforms, and working through the Homes and Communities Agency to deliver the first starter homes. We are working on a White Paper to set out our future plans for housing, including starter homes.
