§ Sir George YoungEstimates of sales of council dwellings from April 1979 to September 1985 and of the stock owned by the local authority at 1 April 1985 are given in the table which was laid in the Library in response to a question from the hon. Member for Welwyn Hatfield (Mr. Murphy) on 19 December, at column 259. Sales reported by Reading represent 16.2 per cent. of its April 1979 stock.
