HC Deb 02 February 1968 vol 757 cc414-5W
Mr. Probert

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government (1) what estimate he has made of the number of leaseholders affected by Section 34 of the Leasehold Reform Act, 1967;

(2) what estimate he has made of the extent to which leaseholders, affected by Section 34 of the Leasehold Reform Act, 1967, have made use of the provisions of that Section.

Mr. MacColl

I have no details of the numbers of long leases at ground rents which have expired since 8th December, 1964, but I would expect the number to be of the order of some thousands. Public records cannot provide full details of the private transactions under the Act and I cannot estimate the use that has been made of Section 34.
