[HL3120]
Lord Williams of Mostyn: The Government are fully aware of the need to comply with all relevant legislation in this area and this has been reflected in the requirements documentation for the SCOPE Programme. Work is continuing on its development and implementation.
Northern Ireland Act 2000: Section 5
Lord Laird asked Her Majesty's Government:
- Whether they will place in the Library of the House the draft international agreement referred to in Section 5 of the Northern Ireland Act 2000; who the states parties to the agreement were; whether it was signed and entered into force, and, if not, why not; when Parliament was told about the fate of this agreement; and whether this agreement was ever reconsidered in subsequent suspensions under the Northern Ireland Act 2000. [HL3139]
Lord Williams of Mostyn: Section 5 of the Northern Ireland Act 2000 does not refer to a draft international agreement. No arrangements, as referred to in that section, have been agreed between the British and Irish Governments.

Viscount Goschen asked the Leader of the House:

Right-to-Buy Scheme
Baroness Turner of Camden asked Her Majesty's Government:
- Whether they will publish, for every housing authority in England and Wales, the rankings which underpinned their recent decision to reduce the maximum discount available to tenants under the right-to-buy scheme in 41 areas. [HL3440]
The Minister of State, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (Lord Rooker): On 22 January 2003, the Deputy Prime Minister announced that he intended to reduce the maximum discounts available to tenants under the right-to-buy scheme in 42 areas that were under the greatest housing market pressure, as evidenced by a high incidence of homelessness and high house prices.
Having considered representations from a number of local authorities and post-transfer housing associations, the Deputy Prime Minister decided to reduce the maximum discounts in 41 areas. This decision was implemented by the Housing (Right to Buy) (Limits on Discounts) (Amendments) Order 2003 (Statutory Instrument 2003 No. 498), which was laid before Parliament on 6 March 2003 and came into effect on 27 March 2003.
At the request of honourable Members opposite, this order was debated on 12 May 2003 in the other place by the Third Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation (Official Report, Commons Session 2002–03, Monday 12 May 2003, Cols. 003 to 026). During the debate my honourable friend the Member for Harrow East, agreed to publish information on how all housing authority areas ranked in terms of housing pressure.
This information is set out below. It relates only to England. The order does not affect areas in Wales, which for right-to-buy purposes are subject to different arrangements administered by the National Assembly for Wales.
The areas are grouped according to the nine English regions—London, South East, East, South West, East Midlands, West Midlands, Yorkshire and the Humber, North East and North West. Each area was ranked on a scale of 1 (high) to 5 (low) according to the levels of homelessness and house prices locally, and these rankings were used to determine the 41 areas under the greatest housing pressure. Subsequently, information relating to earned incomes became available, and the model was rerun to take account of affordability. The effects on individual areas of doing so were marginal. The revised rankings are also set out below.
My honourable friend the Minister for Housing and Planning (Keith Hill) has today written to Mr Edward Davey MP and to the Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation to convey this information, and to Mr Philip Hammond MP and to Geoffrey Clifton-Brown MP to clarify a separate point made during the debate about the costs of the right-to-buy. Copies of these letters have been placed in the Libraries of both Houses.

Note:
There were eight authorities which had no or a negligible number of social lettings.
These authorities were omitted from the analysis as these data were considered to be unreliable.
1 Greenwich was added to the list of areas under housing pressure at the request of the borough.
2 East Hampshire was excluded from the original list because of a data problem. As it was a marginal case, it was not added at a later stage.
3 Spelthorne and Christchurch were not included on the final list at the request of these districts.
