§ Mr. Leightonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many assured tenancies there are nationally and in Greater London.
§ Sir George YoungFigures for the present number of assured tenancies are not available. However, replies to a monitoring exercise carried out earlier this year indicated that by the end of 1983 about 300 homes would be let on assured tenancies, rising to about 600 by April 1985. Details of the location of these lettings were not given.
These estimates are based on the stated intentions at the time of the 67 bodies which had then been approved as 31W landlords. These intentions may now have altered, and the number of approved bodies has since risen to 113. It is therefore likely that the actual numbers of assured tenancies by the ned of 1983 and by April 1985 will be rather higher.
