HC Deb 02 July 1975 vol 894 cc474-5W
30. Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the Consultative Council on Local Government Finance will be empowered to reconsider the Government's policy on the finance of council house improvement, as indicated in the White Paper of January 1975.

Mr. Freeson

The Consultative Council is free to consider all financial matters of significant concern to central and local government. More specifically, I am chairing a special study group on social ownership and renovation of council dwellings which I have set up with local authority representatives.
