§ Mr. Rossiasked the Secretary of Sate for the Environment what assumption is made concerning the number of local authority and new town dwellings to be sold in 1978–79, 1979–80, 1980–81, 1981–82 and 1982–83 which leads to the expected gains from "Total Sales" in table 2.7 of Cmnd. 7439.
§ Mr. FreesonFor 1978–79, figures are based on an estimate of 36,000 sales. For later years, a net figure is shown, based on an assumption of a reduction in sales, a lower level of lending by local authorities for these purchases and a lower level of repayments producing over the period broadly the same amount of receipts each year.
