HC Deb 14 March 1967 vol 743 cc38-9W
Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what steps he is taking to encourage local authorities to provide mortgages to help the purchase of council houses by council tenants who desire to become owner-occupiers.

Mr. Greenwood

None are necessary since local authorities may if they think fit agree to the price or any premium being paid by instalments or to payment of part thereof being secured by a mortgage of the premises. These are the normal methods adopted by local authorities.
