Mr. Tom King

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what estimates his Department has produced of the need for social housing in each(a) region and (b) county. [18609]

Mr. Raynsford

My Department has not in the past produced estimates of the need for social housing for either(a) counties or (b) regions. We are considering the scope for more detailed regional analysis of housing requirements including social housing needs.
