HC Deb 04 December 2002 vol 395 c899W
Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether the Government has changed the price at which it is offering to sell land at Horton hospital in Epsom to local housing associations during the past two years. [84273]

Mr. Lammy

Horton hospital is one of five former mental hospitals in the Epsom area.

A proportion of the land from these sites will be for affordable housing. The planning permission provides that sale of the affordable housing to housing associations will be at 40 per cent, of the open market value—as land values change, the sale price for affordable housing will also change.
