Social Housing Grant: Greater London

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how much social housing grant was (a) allocated to and (b) bid for by each London local authority in each allocation round since 2000.
Answer

Local authorities have been able to apply for social housing grant since 2004, but to date none has.

The first bids are expected shortly.
