HC Deb 19 July 1971 vol 821 c205W
Mr. O'Halloran

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what are the numbers of evictions that have taken place in the Greater London area, borough by borough and year by year, since 1965.

Mr. Amery

Statistics of the execution of warrants for possession are available only for county court warrants. They are not available by local authority areas, and cannot conveniently be produced by county court areas.

The number of county court warrants for possession executed in England and Wales in the six years 1965 to 1970 were as follows :

1965 4,204
1966 5,445
1967 5,390
1968 5,667
1969 6,462
1970 7,056

These were warrants for the possession of premises and land of all kinds. Separate figures for dwellings are not available.
