Home Ownership: First-Time Buyers

Contribution

My Lords, I will follow up the important points that the noble Lord made. Home ownership makes up 62% of housing tenure, and getting first-time buyers to their first house is crucial, but social housing also plays a really important part in helping people to get into a decent, secure and affordable home. It is known that local authority social housing aids social mobility. Can the Minister therefore explain further the contribution of all tenures, particularly social housing, in getting people access to the home they want at a price they can afford in an area where they want to live?
