HC Deb 08 November 1978 vol 957 c225W
51. Mr. Penhaligon

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his policy towards the construction by the Greater London Council of houses for its retired population in Cornwall and other areas outside of the Greater London Council area.

Mr. Freeson

The GLC has power to provide housing outside the Greater London area. The use of those powers is for it and the local authorities concerned, and my Department has had no discussions with them.
