§ Mr. Tom KingTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions when he expects to publish the University of Cambridge Department of Applied Economics study on the need for social housing, referred to in paragraph 19 of "Planning for the Communities of the Future" (Cm 3885). [33829]
§ Mr. RaynsfordThis report was published in January 1998. A copy of the report 'An Economic Model of the Demand and Need for Social Housing' published by DETR has been placed in the House of Commons Library.
§ Mr. Tom KingTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will estimate the proportion of the total number of new homes required between 1991 and 2011 which are for existing households migrating to other parts of England. [33820]
§ Mr. RaynsfordThe household projections are not an estimate of the number of new homes that are required. However, it is possible to identify how much of the projected change in household numbers for each region is due to migration of households into or out of the region.
The latest household projections show that between 1991 and 2016 the number of households in England is projected to increase by 4.4 million. The table shows the projected change in households for each Government Office Region, together with the amount of change that is due to net migration of households into and out of the region (including migration to and from the rest of the world). Equivalent estimates for the period 1991 to 2011 are not available.
