HC Deb 07 April 2000 vol 347 cc605-6W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment. Transport and the Regions what housing improvement projects are being financed by his Department in the Greater London area; and if he will list the boroughs where these projects are. [117407]

Mr. Mullin

The Government are financing a wide range of housing improvement projects through programmes in London boroughs.

London's Housing Investment Programme allocation for 2000–01 consists of a £613 million package of capital resources. All London boroughs have received an allocation which they may use for repairs to their own stock or for increasing supply. The Department does not hold details of individual projects.

In 2000–01 we are providing almost £48 million for schemes under the Estate Action programme in Brent, Ealing, Greenwich, Hackney, Hammersmith and Fulham, Haringey, Islington, Lambeth, Lewisham, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest and Westminster. Housing Action Trust schemes in Brent, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest are also being financed by the Government this year in the sum of £40 million. These are listed in the tables.
