HC Deb 14 December 1992 vol 216 cc52-6W
Mr. David Porter

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list by authorities the number and value of council house sales in East Anglia in each year since 1983; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Baldry

Information on sales of council houses reported by local authorities in East Anglia in the period April 1983 to March 1992 is given in the table. The figures exclude dwellings transferred to housing associations in large scale voluntary transfers. Such transfers took place in Broadland in April 1990 and in Suffolk Coastal in May 1991. The transfers involved some 9,000 dwellings valued at about £50 million.
