Mr. Raynsford

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish a table showing the total number of new homes completed by(a) local authorities, (b) housing associations and (c) private developers in each of the London boroughs in each year since 1979; and what is his estimate for completions in 1993.

Sir George Young

Estimates of housebuilding completions by sector for each local authority area in Greater London are shown in the publications "Local Housing Statistics" and also "Housebuilding in England by Local Authority Areas, 1980–1989" for some earlier years.

Figures for 1979 are in table 4(b) of the November 1981 edition—issue No. 59—of "Local Housing Statistics". Figures for 1980 to 1984 are in "Housebuilding in England by Local Authority Areas", tables 1.1 to 1.5. Figures for 1985 to 1990 are in tables 1(a) to 1(f) of the October 1992 edition—issue No. 103—of "Local Housing Statistics". Figures for 1991 and 1992 are in table 1 of issue No. 105 of "Local Housing Statistics". Copies of these publications are in the Library.

The Department does not prepare forecasts of housebuilding activity.
