參考答案【正確答案：D】
最后一段“...we must face up to the fact that the existing ￡4.5bn programme of grants to fund new affordable housing, set to expire in 2015, is unlikely to be extended beyond then. （我們必須面對現(xiàn)實：現(xiàn)有的45億英鎊的撥款項目在2015年到期后不大可能繼續(xù)下去）”，可知2015年后，政府將D項“停止對住房部門的大額資助”，故D為正確選項。
A項"推行更多的政策來支持住房"和B項“重新審視大規(guī)模公共撥款的需求”與原文相違背。C項“更新可負擔的住房撥款項目”沒有提及，屬于無中生有。
