Context
The MP is concerned about the lack of social and affordable housing in Camborne and Redruth, compounded by a high number of second homes and Airbnbs.
Question
What steps he is taking to build more social and affordable homes in Camborne and Redruth constituency. Given that Cornwall faces 14,000 second homes and 25,000 Airbnbs leading to an exodus of young people and a lack of key workers.
Answer from The Minister for Housing and Planning (Matthew Pennycook)
On 11 November last year, I set out the full details of our £39 billion, 10-year social and affordable homes programme. In the coming weeks, we will provide registered providers with the remaining information that they need to finalise their business and future supply plans, so that they can submit large and ambitious proposals when bidding opens next month.
Not addressed: The Minister did not address the specific issue of second homes and Airbnbs in Cornwall affecting social housing availability.
