HC Deb 21 November 1995 vol 267 cc91-2W
17. Mr. Ian Bruce

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many tenants bought their homes under the right-to-buy legislation last year. [748]

Mr. Curry

In England, over 43,000 homes were sold under the right to buy between April 1994 and March 1995. The figure for Great Britain as a whole is more than 66,000.

Mr. Fraser

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will propose changes to the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 following the decision in Howson v. Buxton and in relation to persons working in association. [415]

Mr. Clappison

It is not clear how the decision in Howson v. Buxton which was decided in 1928, gives rises to an argument for change to the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.
