§ Mr. Lubbockasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will take steps to encourage local authorities to purchase controlled dwellings; and if he will state his policy on the criteria determining the price to be paid to landlords for such properties.
§ Mr. MacCollMy right hon. Friend would consider any such proposal in the light of the particular circumstances; the price would depend on the legislation and, in case of dispute, on the decision of the Lands Tribunal.
§ Mr. Lubbockasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will estimate the present number of controlled dwellings in Greater London, England and Wales, and Great Britain, respectively.
§ Mr. MacCollI cannot add to the reply given to the Question by the hon. Member on 20th March.—[Vol. 743, c.206.]
