<p>The following answer sets out Capital Departmental Expenditure Limits (CDEL) forecast expenditure of the Help to Buy: Equity Loan scheme, as set out in published Budget reports. It includes CDEL financial transactions only, as the primary cost associated with the scheme. It does not include running costs. <br> <br>Help to Buy: Equity Loan is a demand-led scheme: the uptake is driven by the market. Budget forecasts are therefore revised regularly in light of the most recent market information and estimated demand for the scheme.</p><p>It would not be appropriate to set out annualised net forecast expenditure or costs because they are not reflective of the actual cost and return to government for the scheme. In particular, the annual net cost amount does not fully account for the equity element of the homes which is held as an asset.</p><p>For the reasons set out above, the Department does not set out annual net costs for Help to Buy: Equity Loan. Annual cost and income figures in relation to the scheme are set out in the Annual Report and Accounts of Homes England (formerly Homes and Communities Agency) for the financial years 2013-14 to 2018-19.</p><p>The figures published in the Budget reports are:</p><p>2013 Spring Budget Report</p><p><a
