(ii) Information on the number of persons on the housing waiting list, broken down by age, is not collected centrally.
However, the number of households on the waiting list for social housing in each London borough in each year since 1997, as at 1 April each year, is published on the Communities and Local Government website in table 600. Note that the figures include all households
on the waiting list, and not only those that are homeless. The link for this table is given as follows:
Mrs. Lait: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government pursuant to the answer to the hon. Member for Brentwood and Ongar (Mr. Pickles) of 26 June 2007, Official Report, column 633W, on Hometrack, if she will place in the Library the written consultation representations from Hometrack. [152685]

Lynne Featherstone: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how many homes were built by registered social landlords in each London constituency in each year since 2003; and if she will make a statement. [161536]
Mr. Iain Wright: The table shows new build completions through Housing Corporation Affordable Housing Programme, Transitional Local Authority Social Housing Grant and Thames Gateway investment via registered social landlords (RSLs) for each London borough between 2003-04 and 2006-07.
These figures include new build completions for affordable housing, social rent and low cost home ownership. Figures do not include homes provided through Section 106 without grant or through direct investment by RSLs, and therefore may be understating the number of new homes provided by RSLs.
