HC Deb 26 February 1986 vol 92 c554W
Sir Gerard Vaughan

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many council dwellings have been sold in Reading since April 1979; what proportion this represents of the April 1979 housing stock; and how many council dwellings remain in council ownership.

Sir George Young

Estimates of sales of council dwellings from April 1979 to September 1985 and of the stock owned by the local authority at 1 April 1985 are given in the table which was laid in the Library in response to a question from the hon. Member for Welwyn Hatfield (Mr. Murphy) on 19 December, at column 259. Sales reported by Reading represent 16.2 per cent. of its April 1979 stock.
