§ The Solicitor-GeneralIt is regretted that statistics are not collected of the number of people evicted for nonpayment of rent. It is estimated that in England and Wales during 1982 a total of 3,120 warrants for possession of residential property were executed on behalf of private landlords, and 11,960 on behalf of social landlords, mainly local authorities. These estimates are based on a sample of three months' data—February, June and October—collected during the year.
