Social Rented Housing

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what recent assessment she has made of the adequacy of the provision of social housing.

Answer

This government is clear that there is a chronic shortage of social rented housing as a result of its undersupply over recent years.

That is why we are committed to delivering the biggest increase in social and affordable housebuilding in a generation.

For an overview of our policies in this area, I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to Question UIN 41721 on 3 April 2025.
