Seaside and Country Homes Scheme

HC Deb 07 June 1984 vol 61 cc251-2W

Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has reached a conclusion as to which body or bodies will run the seaside and country homes scheme, and the London wide mobility scheme, and take decisions over the joint funding of voluntary housing groups if the Greater London council is abolished.

Sir George Young

Our proposals for the operation of the mobility and seaside and country homes schemes after the abolition of the GLC will be put to the authorities concerned in due course. It will be for the London boroughs collectively to decide on the funding of voluntary bodies eligible for consideration under the arrangements announced by my right hon. Friend on 11 April at columns 406–7.
