asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the total amount estimated from the sales of council houses during the current year.

Mr. Heseltine

Capital receipts from the sales of council houses in the first three quarters of 1981–82 are estimated to be £388 million, including repayments of £55 million on sums left outstanding on sales. Estimates for receipts in the full 12 months will not be available until after the end of the financial year.
