HC Deb 10 March 1987 vol 112 c104W
Mr. Soames

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give details of the sale of council housing to sitting tenants in the Crawley borough and Mid Sussex district; and what was the percentage of relevant stock that existed at 30 September 1979 which has been sold to date.

Mr. Tracey

From April 1980 to September 1986, Crawley has reported selling 4,538 dwellings to sitting tenants, equivalent to 32.1 per cent. of the council stock in April 1980: Mid Sussex has reported 1,015 sales up to June 1986, equal to 18 per cent. of its April 1980 stock. Earlier sales to sitting tenants were not separately reported.
