HC Deb 13 January 1971 vol 809 c58W
8. Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many council houses have been sold by local authorities up to the most recent convenient date; and what is the total estimate of loans to be advanced by such local authorities to the purchasers.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Since last June I have given consent to the sale of 95 houses. This is almost as many as were sold by local authorities in the previous five years. I do not know to what extent, if any, the local authorities concerned will be making loans to the prospective purchasers.
