§ Mr. Pavittasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he will take steps to encourage mutual ownership of housing accommodation by the formation of co-operative housing associations.
§ Mr. H. BrookeThe co-operative form of housing association is a valuable one which brings substantial advantages to its members. The formation of cooperative associations depends largely on the initiative of those who are attracted by the idea of mutual ownership, but local authorities have powers to assist housing associations of all kinds, and the National Federation of Housing Societies will be glad to give advice on the facilities available and the appropriate procedure.
