§ Mr. Robert Daviesasked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources which towns outside London have the six highest percentages of leasehold houses that would be excluded from leasehold enfranchisement if this were limited to those with a rateable value not exceeding £200; and what percentages are involved in each case.
§ Mr. WilleyI regret that the information is not readily available, but on such information as we have I can say that Cambridge seems likely to be the town with the highest percentage.
§ Mr. Robert Daviesasked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources what is the national average percentage of leasehold houses which would be excluded from leasehold enfranchisement if this were limited to those with a rateable value not exceeding £400 in London and £200 elsewhere, together with the estimated number of leasehold houses and the estimated number which would be excluded from leasehold enfranchisement if these limits applied.
§ Mr. WilleyAbout 1 per cent., to judge from the ratio of houses over the limits to the total number of houses, but the actual numbers of leasehold houses are not known and could not be estimated without a disproportionate amount of work.
