HC Deb 20 November 2001 vol 375 c218W
Martin Linton

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions if he will list the number of affordable homes achieved via(a) section 106 agreements and (b) unilateral undertakings by London boroughs between April 2000 and April 2001. [14951]

Ms Keeble

Statistical data recently supplied by the London boroughs with their housing strategy submissions indicate that 1,010 affordable homes (completions) were provided through Section 106 agreements in London for April 2000–April 2001. However, these figures are provisional and require further validation and may include housing units achieved by way of unilateral undertakings.

In addition, we have commissioned detailed research into levels of affordable housing in London provided by Section 106 obligations.
