HC Deb 09 November 1972 vol 845 c237W
Mr. Thomas Cox

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the number of applications in the county court in the greater London area by landlords seeking possession of furnished accommodation, over the last 12 months, or another convenient period.

Mr. Channon

The number of court actions for possession is available only for all tenures for England and Wales, and for London for 1970 only. In London there were 15,521 actions for possession of residential premises of all tenures in that year. Figures for England and Wales for 1970 and 1971 are published in Civil Judicial Statistics 1971 (Cmnd. 4982).
