§ Mr. Reidasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list, for each housing authority area in Scotland, the total number of council houses sold to sitting tenants since the reorganisation of local government.
§ Mr. Hugh D. BrownThe number of council houses sold since 1 July 1975 is shown in the following table. While the normal expectation is that houses built with subsidy will, if sold at all, be sold to sitting tenants, these totals will include some houses, chiefly houses acquired by local authorities rather than built by them, which were sold to someone other than a sitting tenant.
