Decent Homes Programme – PWA

Clive Betts MP (Labour, Sheffield Attercliffe – Sheffield Homes; ALMOs APPG Chair, CLG Select Committee member): How much funding was originally planned for the ALMO decent homes programme in respect of those ALMOs gaining two stars on their first inspection in (a) 2009-10 and (b) 2010-11; and what is the revised amount?
Ian Austin MP (Parliamentary under-Secretary of State for CLG): The original planned funding for 2009-10 for those ALMOs was £35 million. The revised amount is £14.5 million. The original amount planned for 2010-11 was £14.6 million. Those ALMOs who gain two stars in 2010-11 will now likely receive funding in 2011-12.
