answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to improving the supply of affordable homes. Since 2010, we have increased housing supply by over 1.3 million homes, including 407,000 affordable homes.</p><p> </p><p>We do not currently have plans to grant full Capital Gains Tax relief for land sales to a Community Land Trust. The Government considers that the extent to which a Capital Gains Tax relief for land sales to a Community Land Trust would incentivise such behaviour is uncertain. Tax reliefs have an Exchequer cost, and in contemplating such a relief the Government must consider the potential deadweight cost of any benefit going to people who would have sold the land to a Community Land Trust anyway.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 13/05/2019 15:52:07 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
