HC Deb 15 May 1984 vol 60 cc127-8W
Mr. Evennett

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he intends to introduce legislation to make membership of the national mobility scheme compulsory for all local authorities; and if he will make a statement.

Sir George Young

Two English local authorities only, Torbay and Liverpool, are not participating in the national mobility scheme. I hope that both authorities will reconsider their decisions. The Government have no plans to make participation compulsory.
