HC Deb 28 November 1980 vol 994 cc203-4W
Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, in view of the fact that the current repayments on a £25,000 council house over 25 years will be £55 a week without discount, £37 with 33 per cent, discount and £27 per week on the maximum discount of 50 per cent., he will indicate how many houses are to be sold on each of these bases.

Mr. Stanley

The number of council houses sold at any given rate of discount will depend solely on the number of tenants with the appropriate discount entitlement who wish to buy their homes.

Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many councils have issued leaflets on council house sales; and what proportion of these have encouraged sales or discouraged them.

Mr. Stanley

I have not sought this information from local authorities.
