HC Deb 15 February 1983 vol 37 c104W
Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has studied the document "A Case to Answer", published by the Great Georges housing co-operative, concerning the Liverpool cathedral precinct housing site which has been sent to him by the hon. Member for Liverpool, Scotland Exchange; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Stanley

[pursuant to his reply, 15 February 1983, c. 73]: The Housing Corporation is to meet the Great Georges housing co-operative on 16 February, when the issues raised in that document will be discussed. As my right hon. Friend said in his reply of 7 February to the hon. Member—[Vol. 36, c. 286]—decisions on allocations to housing associations must remain primarily a matter for the Housing Corporation. I am sure that it will take full account of the points made by the Great Georges housing co-opeverative in the document "A Case to Answer".

Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what discussions have taken place with the Housing Corporation concerning the housing development of the Liverpool cathedral precinct.

Mr. Stanley

[pursuant to his reply, 15 February 1983, c. 73]: My Department maintains regular contact with the Housing Corporation at headquarters and regional levels. Following selection of the successful design submitted for the competition, initiated by the Housing Corporation, for the redevelopment of the Liverpool cathedral precinct, the corporation is responsible for taking forward the development of the land which is now in its ownership.
