HC Deb 19 November 1984 vol 68 cc1-2W
19. Mr. Gwilym Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many sales of public sector dwellings have been completed in Wales (a) under the right-to-buy provisions and (b) under voluntary provisions since May 1979.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

Between May 1979 and 30 June 1984, Welsh local authorities, the Cwmbran Development Corporation and Mid-Wales Development sold 36,038 dwellings under the right-to-buy provisions and 4,466 under voluntary provisions. In addition, we estimate that 800 properties have been sold by housing associations under the right-to-buy or through voluntary or co-ownership arrangements.
