Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Andrew Pelling (Independent (affiliation)). It was answered on Thursday, 8 April 2010 on behalf of the Department of Energy and Climate Change.


Housing (Energy Efficiency)

Question
Such a Government initiative has been of great benefit to New Addington in Croydon, a significant social housing estate that was excellent for the 1950s in terms of space and good design. What can be done to support the initiative of local people who want the area to become an eco-town? What prospects are there?
Answer

The hon. Gentleman raises an important issue. My right hon. Friend the Minister for Housing recently announced the first wave of eco-towns and funding under that. We want to do more on this. There is great enthusiasm in local areas for this to happen, including in the hon. Gentleman's constituency. I hope that we can take this forward.
