Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to his Answer of 15 January 2004, Official Report, column 894W, on the Terrorism Act, if he will break down, by region, the stops and searches carried out since 2001 under section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000; what reasons were given for using these powers; and what assessment he has made of the reasons for the increases. [150329] Mr. Blunkett: A breakdown of stop and searches by Police Force area under section 44(1) and section 44(2) of the Terrorism Act 2000 for the financial years 2001-02 and 2002-03 is provided in the table. This is taken from information published in the Home Office Statistical Bulletin. Stop and Searches under Section 44(1) or (2) may only be exercised for the purposes of searching for articles of a kind which could be used in connection with terrorism. The decision to authorise use of the powers is made against the background of the current threat level and the assessment of the risk to any designated or whole force area. The increase in stops and searches can be attributed to an increase in general security throughout the year following September 11 (2001). _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Mr. Hancock: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what criteria were used to decide which local authorities in the South East Region could temporarily suspend the Right to Buy; and which have been granted this power. [120320] Keith Hill: There has been no suspension of the Right to Buy in any area, but nine local areas in the South East Region were included in the Housing (Right to Buy) (Limits on Discount) (Amendment) Order 2003-- Statutory Instrument 2003 No. 498--which came into effect on 27 March 2003. These areas were Chiltern; Epsom and Ewell; Hart; Oxford; Reading; Reigate and Banstead; Tonbridge and Malling; Vale of White Horse; and West Berkshire. The Order lowered the maximum Right to Buy discount available to tenants from £38,000 to £16,000 in 41 areas under the greatest housing market pressure as evidenced by high levels of homelessness and high local house prices. This was determined on the basis of two measures: homelessness--reflecting high demand for social housing. Using information provided by local authorities themselves in their regular Housing Investment Programme returns, the number of homeless households in temporary accommodation was compared with the number of local authority lettings and nominations to Registered Social Landlord dwellings given to households who were not homeless. A high value for this ratio indicates high homelessness and/or a low number of available lettings; and house prices--reflecting the demand for private housing and affordability. The Land Registry lower quartile house price for the third quarter of 2002 was used, to indicate likely availability for first time buyers. The model was rerun subsequently to take into account local earnings information. The effect was marginal and insufficient to justify further changes.
