Mrs. Ellman: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what assessment he has made of housing market renewal in Liverpool. [224840]
Keith Hill: New Heartlands, the market renewal pathfinder for Merseyside is making good progress. It is on target for full spend and
achievement of target outputs in 2004-05. But the programme is still in its early stages and it is too soon to assess in detail the
impact of the programme on the Merseyside housing market.
New Heartlands has an allocation of £34 million grant in 2005-06 and has been invited to update its strategy and make the
case for future funding, including £65 million to £110 million for the two-year period from April 2006.

[224797]
(2) how his Department will evaluate the performance of registered social landlords in connection with provision of staged gap
funding. [224798]
(3) how many gap funding agreements have been signed between his Department and registered social landlords. [224799]
Keith Hill: The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister has made £182 million available over the 2004 Spending Review period for
gap funding agreements. One gap funding agreement has been signed to date between Shoreline Housing Partnership and the Office of
the Deputy Prime Minister. The agreement sets out a range of conditions to which the registered social landlord must adhere and
requires that specific performance milestones are met to demonstrate eligibility for gap funding payments.

Keith Hill: The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's Companion Guide for Planning Policy Statement 22 (planning for renewable
energy) highlights the benefits of using renewable-powered CHP schemes in developments.
In addition, my right hon. Friend the Deputy Prime Minister announced that, from April 2006, all publicly funded new homes in the
Thames Gateway will subscribe to the Code for Sustainable Buildings, which will bring new buildings up to world-class environmental
standards. The Code will set out clearly specified performance based criteria for energy efficiency, rather than stipulating
particular methods. Flagship projects using the code will be demonstrated in the Thames Gateway by both the public and private
sectors before being rolled out nationally.

Miss McIntosh: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he will make a statement on the provision of affordable homes in the Vale of
York. [224194]
Keith Hill: The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's recently published Five Year Plan, `Sustainable Communities: Homes for All'
set out our proposals for housing, including expenditure plans for the next two years, in the context of our longer term Sustainable
Communities Plan. This takes a co-ordinated approach to the provision of affordable housing, including not only additional financial
resources--expenditure of £2 billion in 2007-08, more than double the 1997 level, for new social rented housing and home ownership
initiatives, plus more for PFI--as well as changes to the planning system so that it can help authorities deliver more affordable
housing. All these policies apply fully to rural areas, where we are committed to addressing housing needs and have already more
than doubled the provision of affordable housing in small settlements funded through the Housing Corporation.
The provision of affordable housing in high demand areas, including rural areas and market towns, is one of the priorities
identified in the current Regional Housing Strategy for Yorkshire and the Humber and its accompanying Investment Framework. The
Regional Housing Board's current two year investment plan for affordable housing delivered by the Housing Corporation includes 45
dwellings in the Vale of York. The board is also helping to fund the extra care housing scheme at Easingwold, Hambleton district
council's Young Single Homeless scheme and affordable housing initiatives in the `Golden Triangle' high demand, high price area
including north Leeds, Harrogate and York. These priorities continue into the board's revised draft strategy, which is currently out
for consultation. Sub- regional housing partnerships are currently working on their investment proposals for 2006-08 for submission
to the board and subsequent approval by me later this year, and I would expect to see them appropriately reflect the needs of the
Vale of York. Recently completed research into `Rural Housing in the Yorkshire and Humber Region' for the Housing Corporation and
the Countryside Agency will help in addressing rural housing needs.
However, it is important to make full use of all opportunities to provide additional affordable housing where it is needed. There
are already good achievements by Vale of York authorities in using the planning system to deliver affordable housing, and I hope
that the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's recent changes to Planning Policy Guidance Note 3 will help them to do more. I was
also pleased to recently give approval to North Yorkshire county council to implement an affordable housing scheme using their share
of the proceeds from the flexibility that we gave local authorities to reduce the council tax discount for second homes. The first
phase comprises a proposed county- wide programme with an investment of almost £12 million, including 15 dwellings in the
Vale of York.

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.

Mr. Boswell: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what recent research he has commissioned into the availability of glacial gravel and

Keith Hill: No recent research has been commissioned by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister into the availability of glacial
gravels and aggregate resources in Northamptonshire. However, the British Geological Survey, funded through the Sustainable Land-Won
and Marine Dredged Aggregate Minerals Programme, which is administered by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister within the
Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affair's Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund, is currently researching aggregate resource
availability in the Milton Keynes and South Midlands Sub-Region, an area that includes Northamptonshire. One of the objectives of
this project is to collect new data on the sand and gravel resources, including those of a glacial origin, which occur in the study
area. The project is expected to report in November 2006.
