HC Deb 18 January 1982 vol 16 cc10-1
13. Mr. Grist

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many schemes for the purchase by tenants of housing association properties have been completed by the Housing Corporation for Wales since the right to buy came into force.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

Information about such sales is not available. The Housing Corporation does not make schemes for the sale of housing association properties to tenants.

Mr. Grist

Is my hon. Friend aware that certain co-ownership societies in my constituency are finding considerable difficulty in effecting total ownership of their properties? Will he investigate that matter?

Mr. Roberts

Of the 31 schemes of co-ownership, 25 have been approved in principle for full development into ownership. I recollect that an association in my hon. Friend's constituency had certain problems, but I thought that we had managed to solve them. I shall be happy to investigate the matter.

Mr. Speaker

Order. I remind the House that I said that I would allow supplementary questions on question No. 14 to range wider than the terms on the Order Paper.
