Andrew George:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what proportion of (a) home completions and (b) planning permission awards in each Government office of the regions area in England were affordable; and what proportion of these were for (i) sale, (ii) rent, (iii) shared-equity ownership and (iv) other housing tenure format in each of the last 10 years for which records are available. [148253]
30 Oct 2007 : Column 1169W
Yvette Cooper:
Tabulated as follows are the numbers of house building completions in each region in England since 1997-98. Also shown are the relative proportions of house building activity by tenure in each year. It is not possible to distinguish between owner occupied and private rent. Similar information on the numbers of planning permission awards by tenure is not held centrally.
30 Oct 2007 : Column 1170W
Not all affordable housing supply is through new build completions, supply can also come from the acquisition and refurbishment of private sector homes. In the 10 years between 1 April 1997 and 31 March 2007, approximately 120,000 additional affordable homes were supplied through acquisitions which are not represented in the following table. Complete figures for 2006-07 are not yet available.
| House building completions by tenure |
| | Affordable housing completions( 1) (new build only) (percentage) | Private sector completions (percentage) | Total new build completions( 2) (number) |
| | Social rent | Intermediate | Proportions | Units |
