The Homes and Communities Agency are open to considering proposals for joint working that will promote development, economic activity and growth.</p><p>These assets were bought by the national taxpayer and therefore the receipts are deployed nationally.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2014 answer text <p>The Electoral Commission informs me that it provided estimates for the completeness of the December 2010 and April 2011 registers in Great Britain in its ‘Great Britain's electoral registers 2011' report. The report indicated that at least 6 million people were not registered at their current address in December 2010 and this figure had risen to 8.5 million by April 2011.</p><p> </p><p>This change to the accuracy and completeness of the electoral register within such a time period is not unexpected. In any given year there will be a variety of reasons why such a change would occur, the most significant of which will usually be the impact of home movement after the annual canvass, which was the case in this instance.</p><p> </p><p>The Commission's report explaining the background to its research can be found here: <a href="http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/145366/Great-Britains-electoral-registers-2011.pdf%20" target="_blank"><strong>http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/145366/Great-Britains-electoral-registers-2011.pdf</strong></a></p> answering member constituency South West Devon answering member printed Mr Gary Streeter question first answered 19/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 234 label Biography information for Sir Gary Streeter
