I propose to take Questions Nos. 414 and 415 together.

Details in relation to social housing construction completions are available on my Department’s website at the following link:

.

Information is available therein for 2016 and to the end of quarter 2 of 2017. Information on quarter 3 of 2017 is currently being collected and will be published as soon as possible.

In addition to statistics on completed social housing construction, my Department also publishes status reports on a quarterly basis for all social housing construction schemes that are in train, showing details such as their locations and a range of information relating to their advancement. The most recent of these reports covers the period up to the end of quarter 2 of 2017; it contains information on the delivery of 11,000 new social homes that are approved and progressing through planning, design and construction. It also contains details of the homes completed in 2016 and to the end of quarter 2 of 2017. The report can be accessed at the following link:
