§ Mr. Jim CunninghamTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how much unsold housing stock there is in the west midlands. [20915]
§ Mr. ClappisonThe only information held centrally on dwellings for sale in the west midlands relates to vacant local authority dwellings to be sold, as reported by local authorities on their housing investment programme returns. The 1995 returns showed a total of 283 local authority dwellings in the west midlands that on 1 April 1995 were vacant and to be sold.
The available data on vacant dwellings in the west midlands in other sectors do not identify separately those which are for sale.
