HC Deb 29 January 1974 vol 868 c92W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the number of council houses and flats that have been sold to sitting tenants in Bedfordshire.

Mr. Channon

Local authorities in Bedfordshire have reported selling 588 dwellings in the period 1st January 1966 to 30th September 1973; as this figure excludes dwellings built for sale, most, but not necessarily all, will have been sold to sitting tenants. Comparable figures for earlier years are not readily available.
