asked Her Majesty's Government:
What are the latest actual and estimated outputs for demolitions, refurbishments and new builds in each of the housing market renewal pathfinder areas.[HL6343]
Estimated outputs for demolitions, refurbishments and new build paid for by HMR in each pathfinder from the start of the programme until March 2006 are provided in the table below. However, HMR funding accounts for only a proportion of the total activity in these areas. This is particularly the case for new build where it is estimated that more than 8,000 properties have been built within pathfinder areas since 2004.
