HC Deb 29 October 1987 vol 121 cc436-7W
Mr. Wray

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) how many of the occupants of the homes built by the London Docklands development corporation were previously residents in that area;

(2) how many families previously resident in the London docklands and with an annual income of £9,000 or less have been able to acquire new homes made available by the London Docklands development corporation;

(3) how many new homes have been built by the London Docklands development corporation.

Mr. Trippier

A total of 6,928 new homes were completed within the LDDC's area between July 1981 and 31 March 1987. None was built by or for the corporation itself. Of 4,210 homes built on corporation-owned land, 3,263 were for owner occupation. Of these 1,490–46 per cent.—were sold to individuals previously resident in one of the three docklands boroughs.

No information is available about the previous residence of tenants of homes provided on LDDC land or of owners of homes built on non-LDDC sites. No income data is available relating to occupants of new homes in docklands.
