Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment he has made of the level of home ownership in (a) Coventry North East constituency and (b) Coventry in each of the last three years.

Answer

DLUHC publishes estimates of first-time buyer numbers as part of the English Housing Survey. See Chapter 3 and Annex 3.2 in: English Housing Survey2022 to 2023: headline report - GOV.UK. The Government does not hold data that is specific to (a) the Coventry North East constituency and (b) Coventry.
