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

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to increase the development of affordable homes in order to address the decline in home ownership.

This Government is committed to helping aspiring home owners to take their first steps onto the housing ladder.

That is why home ownership forms a core part of the Government's £11.5 billion Affordable Homes Programme, which using our shared Ownership tenure, will deliver thousands of homes for affordable ownership right across the country.

Since 2010 we have delivered over 632,000 affordable homes of all tenures and an estimated 136,000 homes for Shared Ownership.
