HC Deb 15 December 2003 vol 415 cc730-1W
Mr. Sanders:

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs how many house sales there were at more than (a) £20,001, (b) £50,001, (c) £75,001, (d) £100,001, (e) £150,001, (f) £200,001, (g) £250,001 and (h) £500,001 in Torbay in each of the last six years for which figures are available. [143593]

Mr. Lammy:

The figures for each completed calendar year are as follows. Land Registry collects residential property price data by specified price bands and it is not possible to provide figures for sales specifically within the bands £75,001 and £250,001. Alternative ranges have therefore been provided.
