§ Mr. RaynsfordTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will now provide figures for 1994 equivalent to those provided in respect of 1991 and 1993 in his answer of 19 July 1995,Official Report, columns 1414–16. [15389]
§ Mr. CurryEstimates for numbers and proportions of owner-occupiers by age and household type in England in 1994–95 are now available and are given in the table. They are on a consistent basis with the earlier figures and exclude households which entered owner-occupation through purchase as a sitting tenant from a local authority.
The proportions are drawn from the survey of English housing and are subject to sampling variability, as is the number of owner-occupiers based on them. Sampling variability is especially high for groups where the number of households are small and this is likely to cause some of the variation between age groups. These comments apply also to the figures for 1993–94 given in the earlier answer.
