HC Deb 30 January 1985 vol 72 cc173-4W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many respondents to the consultation paper, "Streamlining the Cities: Housing", proposed that the nomination rights to dwellings in a Londonwide mobility scheme and in the Greater London council's seaside and country homes be vested in the Secretary of State.

Authority Grounds Outcome
London boroughs of Brent, Camden, Hackney, Hounslow, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest Decisions to reduce 1980–81 rate support grant unlawful Decision quashed on ground that Secretary of State had failed to hear late representations

Sir George Young
