Figures available to my Department indicate that the number of local authority houses constructed or acquired in recent years far exceeds the number of local authority houses sold under tenant purchase schemes. For example, in the years 2000 to 2004 22,785 units were constructed or acquired by local authorities while 7,669 local authority units were sold to tenants.
