Mr. Gerald Bowden

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what information he has as to the reasons for the continued delay in the purchase by Mr. W. Crabb of his home at 99 Scylla road, London S.E.15, from Southwark council; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Waldegrave

I understand that Mr. Crabb claimed to exercise his right to buy in 1981. I am extremely concerned to hear of the unacceptable delays he has suffered. I am seeking a full explanation from Southwark council and will write to my hon. Friend.
