HC Deb 13 June 1991 vol 192 c618W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the percentage target figure his Department has set in respect of the rents-to-mortgages pilot scheme for council house tenants in Basildon.

Mr. Yeo

The scheme is for tenants of the Commission for the New Towns, not local authority tenants: that would require primary legislation. There is no set target for sales, the purpose being to test the working of rents to mortgages.
