[222371] Substantive answer from Keith Hill to Oona King: In my reply to your Parliamentary Question on 17 March about the number of dwellings built or procured through the Housing Corporation's Approved Development Programme (ADP) and Challenge Fund, in London, by various categories in each year since 1997-98, I undertook to write to you when the information had been collated. The attached table shows the dwellings built, procured or improved under each of the headings listed. Miscellaneous works are not recorded as improved dwellings as the work undertaken is small scale, such as an adaptation for a person with a disability or improved insulation. New Build Homebuy and Key Worker Living were both introduced in 2004/05. The Starter Home Initiative (SHI) was a programme in its own right and was not included in the ADP. A copy of this letter and the attachment is being placed in the House library.
