HC Deb 13 March 1985 vol 75 c144W
Mr. Tom Cox

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he last discussed with the London Boroughs Association the number of empty council properties in the Greater London council area.

Sir George Young

The London Boroughs Association was represented at the meeting of the Housing consultative Council on 30 November 1984 at which my hon. Friend the Minister for Housing and Construction discussed the Department's report of its meetings with 30 local authorities, 13 of them in London, about their empty dwellings. The Department is now consulting the association about our draft circular on local authority empty dwellings.
