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

To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress has been made to date on the Starter Homes scheme.

Starter homes form an important part of our ambition to help people onto the housing ladder, as set out in our Housing White Paper: Fixing Our Broken Housing Market. We have been clear that starter homes should be targeted at first-time buyers who would otherwise be priced out of the market. We have consulted on a minimum 10 per cent affordable home ownership national planning policy expectation for major sites and other planning reforms to deliver starter homes. We have also made good progress securing suitable brownfield sites through the Starter Homes Land Fund.
