§ Mr. Heddleasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many dwellings have been built under the assured tenancy provisions of the Housing Act 1980 in each of the years 1980, 1981 and 1982; and how many he expects to be available for letting in the current year.
§ Sir George YoungThis information is not available in the form requested. Responses to an inquiry in March 1983 indicated that the 67 bodies which had then been approved intended to provide about 300 homes to let on assured tenancies by the end of 1983, rising to 600 by April 1985. These intentions may have been altered, as the number of approved bodies has risen significantly since then, and now stands at 121. It is therefore likely that the actual number of assured tenancies by April 1985 will be rather higher.
