§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list those communities in Gwynedd in which it is necessary for those buying council houses to be required to offer them back to the district housing authority if they are to be resold, if the local authority so determines.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsSection 19 of the Housing Act 1980 permits local authorities to apply either of two alternative limitations, only one of which involves a right of repurchase to the resale of council houses in areas to which the section applies. A general consent has been issued under the terms of section 19(4) which makes it unnecessary for the Welsh Office to be involved in the choice between the two alternatives, and I regret that the required information is accordingly not available.
