Ministerial CorrectionsThe issue of under-occupancy and empty homes was raised. I passionately believe in trying to solve the equation of 430,000 people under-occupying while nearly 250,000 are overcrowded. I have provided some money, time and resources in order for the Chartered Institute of Housing to assist with that issue.

Letter of correction from Grant Shapps:
An error has been identified in the oral answer given on 28 June 2011. The figures given on under-occupancy and overcrowding in the response were incorrect.
The correct response should have been:
The issue of under-occupancy and empty homes was raised. I passionately believe in trying to solve the equation of just over 420,000 households under-occupying while over 270,000 are overcrowded. I have provided some money, time and resources in order for the Chartered Institute of Housing to assist with that issue.
