Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, if he will make an assessment of the impact of the building of modular homes on (a) the economy, (b) the (i) speed and (ii) cost of house building and (c) the provision of affordable homes; and if he will take steps to encourage the building of more modular homes.
The Government is committed to supporting the development and use of modern methods of construction (MMC) which has the capability of unlocking a range of benefits including increased energy efficiency, quicker delivery of new homes and improving the diversity of the housing sector. Government support includes building at least 25% of properties through the Affordable Homes Programme using MMC and providing financial support through our Levelling Up House Building Fund.
