Treasury written question – answered at on 21 July 2009.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what financial transfers are being made from the budget of each other Government department to the Department for Communities and Local Government to fund the housing expenditure announced in the 2009 Draft Legislative Programme; and what programmes in each department are having reductions in their funding to meet that expenditure.
The departmental contributions towards the housing expenditure announced in the 2009 draft legislative programme will come from a mixture of reprioritisation, efficient programme management and anticipated underspends. Up to £930 million will be contributed from the following sources:
£350 million from the Department for Transport;
£100 million from the Department for Children, Schools and Families;
£90 million from the Home Office;
£50 million from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills;
£340 million of anticipated capital underspends in the Department of Health, Department for Children, Schools and Families, and the Department for Communities and Local Government.
The remaining £586 million will be provided by the Department for Communities and Local Government.
