HC Deb 22 October 1968 vol 770 cc257-8W
56. Mr. Barnett

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will make a statement on the funds he will be making available to local authorities to enable them to lend for the purchase of older houses.

Mr. Greenwood

I have advised local authorities to concentrate on assisting persons whose needs cannot be met elsewhere, with preference for council tenants wishing to move and those in special housing need. Many of these will be purchasers of older houses.
