Emily Thornberry (Labour)

Estimates of the discount as a proportion of the selling price can be derived from published statistics on the selling price and discounts allowed for each local authority district in England for 2013/14.

The data go back to 2011/12 but are not available on a comparable basis for earlier years.

The statistics are not compiled on the basis of parliamentary constituencies.
