§ Mr. WillisTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what definition of key workers her department is using in the Starter Homes Initiative. [76589]
§ Mr. McNultyI have been asked to reply.
The Starter Home Initiative is assisting primarily teachers in schools, police, nurses and other health workers to buy their first home. Bids for Starter Home Initiative funding were also invited to assist other key workers, and as a result some social workers, care workers, occupational therapists, fire fighters and transport workers are also being assisted.
