HC Deb 14 June 1990 vol 174 c296W
Mr. Soley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish a table which, allowing for recent adjustments to the Housing Corporation's capital programme, shows for 1989–90, 1990–91, 1991–92 and 1992–93(a) the number of housing association new approvals and (b) the number of housing association completions.

Mr. Michael Spicer

[holding answer 12 June 1990]: The Housing Corporation is currently discussing with housing associations the implications of recent adjustments to the corporation's capital programme for the level of approvals and completions over the next three years. The Housing Corporation has already indicated that housing association completions in 1990–91 are expected to exceed earlier forecasts. Thereafter, massive expansion in the output of new homes is still expected.
