HC Deb 15 March 1972 vol 833 c110W
58. Mr. Warren

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many council houses and flats in England and Wales have been sold to sitting tenants.

Mr. Channon

The information available to the Department on the sale of coucil dwellings in England and Wales is published quarterly in Housing Statistics: Great Britain, copies of which are in the Library. Issue No. 23 (Table 57) of November, 1971, gave annual figures for 1960–70 and the first half of 1971. The total number of sales during last year is now known to be 16,851. This compares with 6,231 in 1970.
