HC Deb 26 July 1982 vol 28 cc410-1W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many council houses have been purchased since May 1979 in the constituency of Macclesfield; and what percentage of total public housing stock in the constituency this represents.

Mr. Stanley

Statistics on sales of council dwellings and of stock are available for local authority areas, but not for parliamentary constituency areas where these are different. Sales are reported quarterly and figures for April 1979 to March 1982 together with the stock of council dwellings at 1 April 1981 for each authority in England are available in the Library following the reply I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Paddington (Mr. Wheeler) on 12 July 1982.—[Vol. 27, c.297.]
