HC Deb 23 July 1984 vol 64 c390W
Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Wales (1) what are the most up to date figures for all sales of housing association houses in Wales to sitting tenants; and what percentage this represents of housing association stock in Wales;

(2) how many housing association houses in Wales have been sold with a discount; and what percentage this represents of housing association stock in Wales.

Mr. John Stradling Thomas

Provisional figures show that, by 31 March 1984, 94 housing association dwellings had been sold to sitting tenants and that a further 743 sales of co-ownership dwellings had been completed; this represents 5.9 per cent. of current housing association stock. Detailed information on discounts is not held centrally but all these sales are likely to have attracted discounts (or reduced prices) unless made by charitable associations.
