§ Mr. Whitakerasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will take steps to ensure that all local authorities display in their libraries or town halls a register of the vacant accommodation in their areas.
§ Mr. MacCollAs a first step my right hon. Friend thinks it would be wise to wait until we see the results of the experiment being carried out in the keeping of registers of houses for sale before going any further. He has recently invited 31 more local authorities to join this experiment with the 6 authorities already keeping these registers.
