Mr. McNulty: I have been asked to reply.

Information about individual planning applications in England is not reported to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister or held centrally, and could only be provided at disproportionate cost. The position in other parts of the UK is a matter for the devolved administrations.

Therefore, a complete list of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's PSA targets is available in the DTLR Annual Report 2002 published on 10 June.

Mr. Leslie: The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister currently owns no empty residential properties in any of the London boroughs.

Housing Regeneration

Mr. Don Foster: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how much (a) public and (b) private money has been invested in housing regeneration in each of the last five years. [69379]

Mr. McNulty: As regeneration is not limited to housing projects, details of expenditure cannot be broken down as requested.

Public funding for housing regeneration is provided through a variety of programmes. The Housing Corporation has a target for housing regeneration, which is 65 per cent. of Approved Development Programme (ADP) grant approvals for each year; in 2001–02 86 per cent. of approvals were for regeneration. Housing also plays an integral part in many specific regeneration programmes, such as New Deal for Communities.

Public funding for housing regeneration is also provided through local authority housing capital expenditure. However, this is not broken down to provide details of all regeneration expenditure. The following information is available from Housing Investment Programme returns: Housing Capital Expenditure (# million)

14 Oct 2002 : Column 461W

Private sector funding for housing regeneration is levered in through a number of avenues, including through the private finance initiative (PFI), and through large-scale voluntary transfer (LSVT) of local authority housing. We have no overall figures for the level of private money invested in housing regeneration.

decisions on called-in planning cases or recovered appeals. Major national issues on 22 July would have included the planning aspects of the statement to the House on 18 July by the Deputy Prime Minster on XSustainable Communities, Housing and Planning" and taking forward the proposals for reform of the planning system set out in the policy statement XSustainable Communities—Delivering through Planning" published the same day. Just over 2,100 cases were under consideration at various stages of the planning process, in the Government Offices, the Planning Inspectorate or directly before the First Secretary of State for decision.
