HC Deb 19 May 1971 vol 817 c291W
78. Mr. Rost

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, as part of his Department's inquiry into the voluntary housing movement, consideration will be given to the establishment of a new registry of housing associations as the central registering authority for all voluntary housing bodies.

Mr. Channon

Consideration will certainly be given to registration or listing of housing associations as a pre-requisite of the receipt of public funds, though this does not necessarily imply setting up a new registry.
