Answer: Simon Hughes: To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs how many house sales there were at more than (a) £50,001, (b) £100,001, (c) £200,001, (d) £500,001, (e) £750,001 and (f) £1 million in London in each of the last six years for which figures are available. [139932] 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 at "more than £750,001". An alternative range has therefore been provided. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.
