Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what were the levels of capital receipts available for building new council housing in each year since 2010, broken down by local authority.

(a) Only since 01 April 2012 has a portion of Right to Buy receipts been calculated as being retainable by the local authority if a sufficient level of expenditure on replacement social housing is incurred.

(b) Table includes the 167 local housing authorities which on 01 April 2013 owned a substantial amount of housing stock.

(c) All figures in the Table are provisional and are subject to change as a result of assurance and reconciliation exercises.

(d) All local housing authorities may also, subject to conditions, fund new council housing from: (i) other portions of their Right to Buy receipts which they may retain, (ii) other housing capital receipts, and (iii) capital receipts arising from the disposal of other assets.

(e) Where an authority’s portion is indicated as zero, it means that there are no Right to Buy receipts remaining after other costs have been met.

The attached table shows the portion of receipts arising from Right to Buy sales received by each local authority in each full financial year since 2012-2013 which is retainable for the purposes of providing replacement social housing.
