<p>The Government has taken action to free up land for productive economic use. At
the end of December 2013, the Public Sector Land Programme had sold surplus Government
owned land capable of delivering over 68,000 homes in England as part of our ambition
to dispose of surplus land with capacity for 100,000 homes by 2015. And through the
recently concluded Strategic Land and Property Review the Government has identified
scope to release £5 billion from its land and property between 2015 and 2020, creating
opportunities for housing and economic development.The Government will look to quantify
the housing and growth ambitions for this new programme by the time of the Autumn
Statement.</p><p> </p>
