Mr. Drew

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions how many houses were built by the 10 largest housing associations in each of the last three years; how many are projected for next financial year; and what grant was payable to each association in each of those years. [18351]

Ms Keeble

[holding answer 27 November 2001]: (a) Based on information supplied by the Housing Corporation, the number of self-contained units built by the 10 largest housing associations in each of the last three years are as shown in the following three tables. Also shown is the total grant allocated to the housing association during each year for building purposes.

Self-contained units built
2000–01 Total Built without subsidy Built with subsidy Allocation £000
Home Group Ltd. 705 5 700 7,605
North British Housing Ltd. 577 47 530 13,350
The Guinness Trust 416 0 416 14,544
Hyde Housing Association Ltd. 416 10 406 15,834
Northern Counties Housing Association Ltd. 306 45 261 4,400
London and Quadrant Housing Trust 284 0 284 22,106
Riverside Housing Association Ltd. 274 62 212 4,827
Anchor Trust 132 0 132 12,615
Sanctuary Housing Association 111 0 1l1 6,315
Peabody Trust 56 12 44 3,659
Total 3,277 181 3,096 105,255

Notes:

1. The top 10 RSLs/HAs by size, for each of the three periods, was determined by totalling, for each RSL, the following figures:

their total stock of self-contained units;

the number of hostel/shared housing bedspaces;

the number of units where the RSL had an interest in a shared ownership scheme or a leasehold for the elderly scheme;

the stock managed for non-RSLs (stock managed for other RSLs was excluded).

2. It is important to note that grants allocated to an RSL may not necessarily be reflected in the number of units built within that same year.

3. The total grant allocation is the sum of the ADP grant allocated by the Housing Corporation and the LASHG grant allocated by the local authority.

4. The number of units built annually comprises new-build self-contained units only.

(b) Housing Corporation allocations to the top 10 RSLs in 2001–02 for the construction of new units are as follows:

ADP allocation £000 Number of units to be built with this allocation
Peabody Trust 17,736 243
Riverside Housing Association Ltd. 2,034 95
Sanctuary Housing Association 1,328 74
Northern Counties Housing Association Ltd. 3,282 108
North British Housing Ltd. 9,522 283
Home Group Ltd. 11,569 288
Hyde Housing Association Ltd. 15,565 315
The Guinness Trust 9,883 243
London and Quadrant Housing Trust 22,538 352
Anchor Trust 8,153 140
Total 101,610 2,141

Note:

The allocation figures represent the start-of-year position for accepted allocations prior to grant confirmation. Note that the allocation in the table refers to ADP allocations by the Housing Corporation only. Information on LASHG grants for the current year are not yet available.

Ms Buck

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions how many households in council and RSL properties will not have reached their target rents by 2012–13. [18625]

Ms Keeble

The information is not available. In particular, rate of increase of actual council and RSL rents over the next 10 years will depend, among other things, on the outcome of future spending reviews (for council rents) and periodic reviews by the Housing Corporation (for RSL rents).
