Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish in the Official Report a table showing the number of council houses owned by each district council in January 1981 and the total numbers sold, or in the actual process of being sold, in each district.

Figures for the total numbers of house sales in progress in each district are not centrally available. The following table shows the latest available information on the number of sales concluded by local authorities in the period 1 April 1979 to 31 December 1980:
