§ Mr. Simon HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how much money has been made available to each London borough to operate the tenants' cash incentive scheme in each of the last five years; and if he will make a statement. [30739]
§ Mr. Robert B. JonesThe table provides information on the supplementary credit approvals issued to local authorities in London during this period. No SCAs were issued in 1993–94. With the approval of the Secretary of State, local authorities may also use their own resources to fund cash incentive schemes.
In the period 1989–90 to 1993–94 the cash incentive scheme has created over 6,000 vacancies for reletting in London and has enabled the same number of London households to buy their own home.
