§ Mr. Andrew F. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the number of local authority dwellings available for letting to new tenants for the years 1976–77 to 1982–83 inclusive, as (a) relets, net of lettings to existing tenants and (b) others.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsInformation on the total number of new tenants was supplied in my response to the hon. Gentleman on 13 March at column 120. It is not possible to identify separately the number of new tenants placed in relet and other — new, acquired or modernised —properties. The number of new, acquired and modernised dwellings which became available for letting in each year since 1978–79 is as follows. Comparable figures for earlier years are not available.
Year Number 1978–79 3,100 1979–80 3,600 1980–81 3,700 1981–82 3,200 1982–83 1,800
