Mr. Stainton

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what representations he has received from the Consumer Council regarding substandard housing; what reply he has sent; and whether he will make a statement on them.

Mr. Crossman

I have recently received the comments of the Consumer Council. I understand that the hon. Member has been sent a copy. I shall want to consider the Council's views with those of the other bodies I have consulted on this subject before sending a reply or making any statement.

Mr. Stainton

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what representations he has received from the Law Society with a view to the protection of house purchasers from substandard building; what reply he has sent; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Crossman

I have received no representations from the Law Society in this connection.
