Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much land her Department has released for the purpose of building new homes since May 2010.

As of the end of March 2014 the Public Sector Land Programme had disposed of
land capable of delivering over
76,000 homes in England.

The Home Office has contributed land capable of delivering 375 homes to the
Programme, we are continuing to
rationalise our estate, delivering cost savings and better value for money for
the taxpayer.

In the final year of this programme work is continuing to dispose of land
capable of delivering much needed homes
and is on course to meet the Government’s ambition to dispose of land capable
of delivering 100,000 homes by April
2015.
