HC Deb 16 October 1996 vol 282 c1066W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many housing association houses were built in each South Yorkshire local authority in each of the last four years. [40965]

Mr. Clappison

Estimates of dwellings completed by housing associations in each local authority area in England are shown in the publication "Local Housing Statistics". Figures for the years 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995 are in issue numbers 109, 110, 117 and 118 respectively.

While these figures cover newly built accommodation, housing associations have also provided additional social lettings by the rehabilitation of existing properties and the various home incentive schemes, whose relative importance has been growing with the greater emphasis being placed on making more effective use of existing stock.
