Housing: Greater London

Volume 459: debated on Tuesday 17 April 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how many homes for sale on the open market have been built in (a) the London borough of Merton, (b) South West London and (c) London in each of the last five years. (121563)

Communities and Local Government do not collect data on homes for sale on the open market. However, we do collect data on the number of private dwellings that are built and these are presented in the following table.

Communities and Local Government do not define an area for South West London so we have provided figures on the number of new properties for each London borough for 2002 to 2006 as follows:
