To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what information he has on the cost of promoting ballots of council tenants on stock transfer; and if he will state the cost for each English housing authority area of ballots during the past year. [36617]

The costs of housing transfer ballots are met by local authorities from their housing revenue accounts. The Department does not hold information on the amounts involved.
