Extended Home Ownership Programme

Susan Kramer: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how many people he estimates will be eligible for his Department's extended home ownership programme in each London borough; and if he will make a statement. [15862]

Yvette Cooper: Our new Homebuy scheme will commence in April 2006. The New Build and Open Market options will contribute towards helping around 100,000 households into home ownership by 2010. The scheme will be available to social tenants, those on them housing register, key public sector workers and other first time buyers prioritised for assistance in their region by Regional Housing Boards.

It is not possible to estimate at the moment the number of people in each region who will be eligible. In London, and other regions, eligibility will depend on the priorities for investment established with the Regional Housing Board and decisions taken on the Housing Corporation's National Affordable Housing Programme 2006–08 which will be announced early in 2006.

In addition, Social Homebuy will provide new opportunities for social tenants to buy a share of their home at a discount. Social landlords are being encouraged to participate, but as it is a voluntary scheme it will be up to individual landlords to decide whether to operate the scheme in any given area.

Sarah Teather: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how many fire-related deaths there have been in dwellings in each London (a) constituency and (b) borough in each year since 2000. [15358]

Jim Fitzpatrick: The number of fire related deaths (accidental and deliberate) in dwellings in each London constituency recorded by the London Fire Brigade for the years between 2000 and 2004 is as follows:
