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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of the standard method for calculating local housing need provided by his Department for local authorities.

The standard method for calculating local housing need has been in place since 2018. The Government keeps all elements of its policies under review and, should there be announcements to make, will do so in the usual way and in due course.
