Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Lord Howard of Lympne (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 14 September 2009 on behalf of the South East Regional Grand Committee.
Housing
- Question
- I think that the Minister just referred to an increase in the provision of social housing since 1990. If that is what he said, he is right about the first part of that period, but after 1997 the units of social housing provided by this Government fell—dramatically. Will he confirm that that is the case?
- Answer
-
I will certainly provide the right hon. and learned Gentleman with the graph of the numbers of housing starts. We now have the highest number since 1990. Housing starts within the RSL sector have remained pretty constant over the years. There was a drop from 1996 to 1997, but we are now at higher levels than in 1990.
