§ Mr. Tony Banksasked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what assessments of London's housing requirements have been made by his Department since 1979 or are currently in preparation;
(2) what will be the short-term net additional cost to the taxpayer of transferring responsibility for the Greater London council's statutory housing improvement areas to the London boroughs if the Greater London council is abolished;
(3) which body will be responsible for funding repair work on housing association schemes originally funded by the Greater London council in the event of the Greater London council being abolished;
(4) if he will ensure that the distribution to the London boroughs of capital receipts from the Greater London council mortgage account will reflect the location of housing association schemes originally funded by the Greater London council and needing additional funding for repair works in the event of the Greater London council being abolished.
