Mr. George Howarth

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many dwellings have been provided by the private sector with financial or other assistance from the local authorities as defined in section E of the HIP2 returns by local authorities, for each year since 1979–80 up to 1991–92 broken down by his Department's regions.

Mr. Yeo

The total numbers of dwellings provided by private sector bodies, including registered housing associations, with financial or other assistance are as follows. They include the expected number of dwellings to be built on land sold to private developers.

These are local authorities' estimates of dwellings resulting from transactions that have taken place, as reported on their housing investment programme returns. Information in this form was not collected prior to 1987–88 and outturn estimates for 1991–92 are not yet available.
