§ Mr. Heddleasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will examine the case of Mr. and Mrs. Adkin of 48 Green lane, Rugeley, Staffordshire, who wish to exercise the right to buy under the Housing Act 1980 in 1982, but who have so far been unable to do so.
§ Sir George YoungI understand that the processing of Mr. and Mrs. Adkin's right-to-buy application has been seriously delayed because of a boundary dispute. My officials are in touch with Cannock Chase district council to see whether progress can be expedited. I shall write to my hon. Friend.
