answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2017 answer text <p>The Government's Estate Regeneration National Strategy, published in December 2016, emphasises the key leadership role of local authorities in assessing and delivering the amount of social and affordable housing appropriate to meet the needs of their area. The National Strategy also sets out Government's expectations for how authorities should engage with residents throughout an estate regeneration scheme, and how residents should be protected. The Government's expectation is that all existing council and housing association tenants, whether on a lifetime or fixed tenancy, should have the option to return to the estate.</p><p>More than twice as much council housing has been built since 2010 than in the previous 13 years. 10,460 local authority dwellings were built between 2010-11 and 2016-17, up from 2,920 delivered over the previous 13 years (1997-98 to 2009-10). The Government recently announced plans to deliver more affordable homes, including at a social rent, by investing £2 billion in additional funding for housing associations and local councils in England. This will increase the Government’s 2016-21 Affordable Homes Programme in England to more than £9 billion.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 19/10/2017 13:49:13 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
