§ 9. Mr. Neubertasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will pay an official visit to East London to consider policy on rehabilitation of existing homes.
§ Mr. FreesonMy right hon. Friend and I are in close touch with East London local authorities on all housing matters including rehabilitation.
§ Mr. NeubertHas the Minister yet asked Yorkshire Television for the papers relating to dealings between the Greater London Council and Novo and Second Genesis? What proposals does he have to prevent taxpayers' and ratepayers' money being made over to unregistered housing associations?
§ Mr. FreesonIn the first place, it was not a matter of taxpayers' money being made over. Secondly, it is a matter for the GLC. Thirdly, it is not relevant to any official visit that my right hon. Friend or I might make or talks that we might have with East London housing authorities.
