PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(9 January 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps the Government is taking to help (a) first-time buyers and (b) low-income families secure housing in Ashfield constituency.

Asked by:
Lee Anderson (Reform UK)

Answer

The affordability challenges facing prospective first-time buyers mean that too many people are now locked out of homeownership.

The government is committed to delivering 1.5 million homes, including the biggest increase in social and affordable housebuilding in a generation.

In addition to increasing the supply of homes of all tenures, we are committed to introducing a permanent, comprehensive mortgage guarantee scheme which will support first-time buyers in Ashfield and across the country who are struggling to save for a large deposit.
