Local Authority Housing Construction – Parliamentary Written Answer (1)

Ian Austin MP: What (a) local authority housing and (b) other housing developments funded from the public purse are under review as a result of the expenditure reduction programme announced for 2010-11; how many houses are to be provided in each such development; how much funding his Department has allocated to each; at what address and in which parliamentary constituency each is located?
Andrew Stunell MP: The announcement on 24 May set out the immediate savings of over £6 billion that needed to be made. Housing budgets for 2010-11 are also subject to the provision of end year flexibility. The Chief Secretary to the Treasury announced on 17 June that he is reviewing the affordability of a range of end year flexibility agreements made by the previous administration, and an announcement on the outcome of this is expected shortly. A full review of housing projects will be undertaken, once the final funding position for 2010-11 is clear.
