This is because the house building figures are categorised by the type of developer rather than the intended final tenure, leading to under recording of affordable housing, and a corresponding over recording of private enterprise figures.<br><br></p><p> </p><p>A fuller picture of all affordable housing new build completions is published in the Department’s live table 1009, which is available at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-affordable-housing-supply" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-affordable-housing-supply</a></p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 11/11/2014 16:07:53 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
