That is No. 1721B. The Housing Agency has provided a good information note on the regulation of approved housing bodies, which is not statutory. It has also provided a good note on land management on the 600 acres and 83 sites it owns. It gives information on sites transferred and sites progressing where agreement to transfer is in place, and details on the various capital funding schemes to approved housing bodies and local authorities, such as the capital assistance scheme and the capital loan and subsidy scheme. It has technical information on payment and availability agreements to purchase, lease and construct properties and the capital advance leasing facility. For people who are following the housing debate, this is very good information.
