Sales completed 1979–80 316 1980–81 26 1981–82 628 1982–83 1,746
§ Mr. Bruinvelsasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take steps to speed up the sale of council houses in the city of Leicester.
§ Sir George YoungMy right hon. Friend continues to monitor carefully whether tenants of Leicester city council have or may have difficulty in exercising their right to buy and to take up progress with the council whenever necessary. The formal warning of intervention remains in being. If my hon. Friend has any particular problem in mind, I should be grateful if he would write to me.
