HC Deb 23 May 1973 vol 857 c71W
Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what estimate he has made of the number of council house tenants who have been refused permission to buy their own council house since June 1970.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I have no information on which to base an estimate, but the number is likely to be substantial, since only 63 of the 234 local housing authorities in Scotland have informed me of completed sales of council houses.
