Alison Seabeck: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what estimate he has made of the number of empty homes (a) returned into use to date and (b) to be returned to use by October 2012 as a direct consequence of the provision of £100 million for the purpose under the comprehensive spending review.
Andrew Stunell: We expect the £100 million set aside within the Affordable Homes Programme to bring empty homes back into use to deliver at least 3,300 homes. The money is available from April, and the criteria for bids on this fund will be published shortly.
