(a) Information on Right to Buy sales reported by Aylesbury Vale district council since October 1980 is in the following table. The figures include a small number of RTB shared ownership sales and sales under the Rent to Mortgage scheme in the local authority's area, which includes part of the Aylesbury constituency.

1. The total selling price of properties sold under the Right to Buy scheme since April 1981 was £120.65 million. Comparable information for 1980–81 was not collected.
2. The Buckingham constituency is only part of Aylesbury Vale local authority area (albeit the main part) and that part of Aylesbury constituency is also covered within this area. Thus, any houses within the Aylesbury constituency may also be included in the figures.
