Select Committee Statement on the Second Report of the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee, Affordability of Home Ownership, HC 41

Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)

A Westminster Hall debate on the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee's report into the affordability of home ownership. The debate will examine the barriers preventing people from buying homes and explore potential policy responses to make house purchase more achievable for ordinary families.

Home ownership affordability is a core cost-of-living concern affecting millions of working-age adults across the country. This debate will shape parliamentary understanding of the scale of the problem and may influence government housing policy, particularly around first-time buyer support, planning reform, and development incentives.
