Mr. Allan Roberts

asked the Attorney-General if he will publish the figures on the number of applications for legal aid

have been lost from the privately rented sector since the coming into force of the Rent Act 1974.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

Information is available only up to December 1979. Between December 1974 and December 1979 the number of dwellings classified as "privately rented and other tenures", which includes Housing Association dwellings, declined by 17,000.
