To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how many and what percentage of homes were sold to first time buyers in the last 10 years. (103595)

The total number of homes sold to first time buyers is not collected. Although data on all house sales in England and Wales are collected by the Land Registry there is no information collected on buyers.

Information on mortgages to first time buyers and former owner occupiers for house purchases in the UK is collected by the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML). This includes total number of loans to first time buyers and percentage of loans to first time buyers. This information is published on their website at:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how many homeless applicants to local authorities had a prison as their last known address in each of the last three years. (103668)

Information about the main reason for loss of last settled home is collected in respect of those households who were accepted as eligible for assistance, unintentionally homeless and in priority need, and therefore owed a main homelessness duty. It does not cover reason for loss for those applicant households who were not accepted.

In 2002 the priority need categories were extended to include those vulnerable as a result of having spent time in custody or on remand, and since Quarter 2 2005 we have separately identified those whose main reason for loss of last settled home was leaving prison or remand.

In 2005-06, 860 out of the total of 93,980 households who were accepted as owed a main homelessness duty had the main reason for loss of last settled home as leaving prison or remand.

The following table shows completed shared ownership sales by housing associations funded by Government through Housing Corporation Approved Development Programme (ADP) and Local Authority Social Housing Grant (LASHG) for each year 1991-92 to 1996-97. There were no other publicly funded shared ownership schemes.

There were no specific key worker schemes over this time period.
