for sale schemes for which Exchequer subsidy has been paid during the last six years; and if he will specify for each scheme (a) the number of units of accommodation improved for sale (b) whether these units were acquired by the local authority for improvement for sale, or previously let by the local authority under secure tenancies (c) the level of subsidy paid per unit included in the scheme (d) the capital receipt to the local authority from the sale of the properties and (e) the value per unit of improvements.

Mr. Tracey

[pursuant to his reply, 4 December 1986]: The available data on local authority improvement for sale schemes, toward which contribution has been paid, are set out below. Data are collected by dwellings rather than schemes, which may contain any number of dwellings, as contribution is payable separately for each dwelling rather than in aggregate for a scheme. Information on whether these units were acquired for IFS or were previously let as secure tenancies is not available on a directly comparable basis, and would be disproportionately expensive to provide. Information is not available on the proportion of the total qualifying cost of works to each dwelling attributable to works of improvement.

Column 1. Number of units towards which contribution was paid.

Column 2. Average contribution per unit.

Column 3. Market value of units (see note).

Note: In certain circumstances local authorities may sell improved properties at a discount. For the purposes of calculating the contribution payable, however, the market value rather than the selling price is used. Data on discounts given on these sales are not available.
