Written answers

My Department compiles statistics on various aspects of housing including those on the supply of housing land. A recent survey on the availability of housing land shows 525 hectares was owned by local authorities and earmarked by them for social and affordable housing programmes. All suitable sites owned by Local Authorities will be considered in any future social building housing programme.
