HC Deb 25 January 1991 vol 184 cc325-6W
Mr. Thurnham

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list all councils' sales of council houses since 1981, in the order of the number of houses sold as a percentage of the opening stock in 1981.

Mr. Yeo

Twelve local authorities have so far transferred their entire housing stock to a housing association or private company: Chiltern, Sevenoaks, Newbury, Swale, Broadland, North Bedfordshire, Medina, Rochester upon Medway, South Wight, Mid Sussex, East Dorset, and Tonbridge and Mailing. A number of other local authorities are in the process of similar transfers. The available information on sales, giving total sales for each local authority for each financial year since 1979–80 and percentages, is placed in the Library each quarter. The tables showing available information to June 1990 were placed in the Library on 29 November 1990. An updated version of the table giving available information to September 1990 will be placed in the Library shortly.
