§ Mr. Thomas Coxasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what recent discussion he has had with greater London borough councils to discuss with them the action they are taking within their boroughs to bring into temporary use properties which are due for demolition.
§ Mr. EyreI am satisfied, following consultations with all London borough councils last year, that most authorities are using short-life properties to their fullest capacity. The Department will use every appropriate opportunity to ensure that councils are aware of their responsibilities in this matter.
