I propose to take Questions Nos. 137 and 138 together.

My Department collates and publishes a wide range of housing and planning statistics that inform the preparation and evaluation of policy, and those data are available on my Department's website

Data relating to vacancy rates in local authority housing stock and voluntary housing association stock are not included in this range. However, vacancy rates in local authority housing stock are collected annually as part of the Local Government Management Agency's review of local authority service indicators. Electronic copies of the reports, including the most recent report for 2011, are available on the Local Government Management Agency's website - .
