HC Deb 08 March 1972 vol 832 cc320-1W
62. Mr. Pardoe

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received about the effects of the Housing Finance Bill on Cornwall; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Amery

I have had a useful meeting about this Bill with four hon. Members representing constituencies in Cornwall. The hon. Members concerned issued a statement thereafter.

Mrs. Doris Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many explanatory documents he is planning to deliver to local authorities to explain the details of the Housing Finance Bill.

Mr. Channon

It is normal practice to issue an explanatory circular when legislation affecting local authorities comes into force and to issue subsequent guidance as necessary.
