§ Mr. Terlezkiasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what has been the increase in the percentage of owner-occupiers since 1979; and how much of this increase is due to sale of council houses.
§ Sir George YoungThe latest estimates are that about 57 per cent. of the dwelling stocks in England was owner-occupied at the end of March 1979 and about 62 per cent. at the end of 1983; 3 per cent. of current total stock had been sold by councils for owner occupation during that period.
