§ Sir Anthony Meyerasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish a table in the Official Report showing progress by each local housing authority in Wales in selling council houses to existing tenants, including the number of applications, the number of offers, the number of completions and the average period of delay between application to buy and completion of sale.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsThe following table gives details for each local authority in Wales of the number of right-to-buy applications received, the number of offers made and the number of sales completed as at 30 September 1981, the latest date for which information is available. As regards the average delay between application and sale, I refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave him on 30 November. —[Vol. 19, c.8–9.]

1. Carmarthen District Council and Colwyn Borough Council are processing most sales through voluntary procedures.
2. Prior to the quarter ending June 1981, formal statistical returns from local authorities did not give details of offer notices issued. The details given regarding offer notices therefore also take account of information obtained informally from authorities regarding the earlier period.
