To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government for what purposes revenue collected from Right to Buy receipts in each of the last three years has been allocated. (282628)

I refer the hon. Member to the answer given on 2 June 2009, Official Report, columns 457-58W.

The housing receipts (including Right to Buy) surrendered to the Exchequer are not hypothecated to specific policy areas but, together with other resources, contribute towards the overall fiscal package within which departmental public expenditure programmes are agreed as part of the spending review process.

Receipts retained by Communities and Local Government (CLG) are used to support its housing and planning capital programme expenditure. The following table sets out the elements of CLG housing capital programme in the last three years, and the housing receipts (including Right to Buy) received by CLG.
