§ 44. Mr. Tugendhatasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take steps to facilitate the raising of capital by council tenants wishing to purchase their council houses.
§ Mr. AmeryI have made clear my hope that building societies will lend for this purpose. But the absence of such90W capital need not hold up the sale of a council house. Councils have power to agree to the price being paid by instalments or to payment of part of the price being secured by a mortgage of the property.
