HC Deb 13 June 1972 vol 838 cc283-4W
Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many local authorities in England do, and do not, exercise their right to sell council houses to sitting tenants.

Mr. Eyre

The information is not available. Local authorities are asked to submit to the Department monthly returns of the numbers of houses sold, but nil returns do not necessarily imply that houses have not been sold as a matter of policy
