Housing: Greater London

Volume 471: debated on Wednesday 30 January 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how much the Government received in capital receipts from housing-related asset sales (a) in total and (b) from right-to-buy sales from each London borough in 2005-06. (179334)

The following table indicates the amount that each London borough, through the process of pooling—the mechanism by which all local authority housing capital receipts are recycled for investment—paid to the Secretary of State out of its receipts arising from the sales in 2005-06 of its housing land. It is currently not possible for the equivalent information to be provided separately for the authorities' Right to Buy (RTB) receipts, other than at disproportionate cost, although the vast majority of pooled receipts are RTB receipts.
