To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government which local authorities (a) have transferred and (b) have plans to transfer assets under the (i) Asset Transfer Fund and (ii) Advancing Assets programme to date.

The following table shows the local authorities that have been awarded funding through (i) the Community Assets Programme towards renovating assets for transfer; and (ii) those that have been supported through the Advancing Assets for Communities Demonstration Programme in each of the three years since 2007 to enable them to advance specific asset transfer projects.The Community Assets Programme is designated as 'CAP' in the table and Advancing Assets for Communities is designated as 'AA' followed by the year in which they were supported by the programme:
