§ Mr. Marlowasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the annualised revenue effect on local authorities of the sale of council houses since 3 May 1979; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir George YoungThe effect depends on a number of factors, including the rent which would have been payable if a house had not been sold and the amount the local authority would have spent on its management and maintenance. Information about a number of these factors is not available centrally.
