Written answers

I refer to the reply to Question No. 697 of 6 November 2012 which detailed the total number of units leased to end October 2012.

3,458 units have become operational under the leasing scheme to date. Of these 1,845 are unsold affordable units managed by approved housing bodies on behalf of housing authorities. A breakdown of the other 1,613 units by local authority is set out in the table. 347 have been sourced by approved housing bodies with the remaining 1,239 sourced by housing authorities.
