HC Deb 17 March 1982 vol 20 c135W
25. Mr. Dudley Smith

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many families have become home owners through shared purchase schemes since May 1979.

Mr. Stanley

There were some 2,000 sales on shared ownership terms in England in the period April 1979 to December 1981. A substantial expansion of shared ownership and leasehold for the elderly sales by housing associations, local authorities and new towns is likely to take place in 1982–83.
