PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Social Rented Housing: Construction (7 October 2016)

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how much social housing for rent was built in (a) York, (b) North Yorkshire and (c) England in each year since 2010; and how much social housing in each such area he expects to be built in each future year for which projections have been made.

Asked by:
Rachael Maskell (Labour)

The number of social housing for rent supplied in England, since 1991-92, are published in Table 1006 of the Affordable Housing Supply 2014-15 statistical release, available at this link:

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-affordable-housing-supply

The department does not produce projections for future affordable housing supply. Local affordable housing needs should be assessed as part of the local plan making process.

Government has committed £8 billion to deliver a range of affordable housing tenures including homes to rent; homes for shared ownership, rent to buy and discounted Starter Homes to buy outright.
