§ 8. Mr. HopkinsTo ask the Deputy Prime Minister when he expects to receive the National Audit Office report on council stock transfers; and whether his review of council housing finances will be published before he has received the report. [93773]
§ Mr. McNultyThe timetable for the National Audit Office's report has yet to be finalised. However it is scheduled for consideration by the Public Accounts Committee of this House on 31 March. The NAO research has been helpful in the broader review of the vehicles available for the delivery of the decent homes target.
The statement by my right hon. Friend the Deputy Prime Minister on the Government's comprehensive long-term programme for sustainable communities, including housing, will be made shortly.
