§ Mr. LoveTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions how many leaseholders in(a) the United Kingdom and (b) each London borough, who bought their properties from local authorities under the Right to Buy scheme, have been required to contribute financially to the cost of improvement works carried out by local authorities to their properties in each of the last five years; and what has been the average amount leaseholders have been required to contribute to the cost of improvement works in (a) and (b). [31651]
§ Mr. RaynsfordThis information is not held centrally. In 1995 my Department published research on local authority leaseholders as "Leaseholders and Service Charges in Former Local Authority Flats", a copy of which is held in the House of Commons Library. This includes information about levels of service charges including improvements and other works, but it does not include information at the level of detail sought by my hon. Friend.
