§ Mr. Hugh Jenkinsasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether, having regard to the long housing waiting lists in London and the overcrowded conditions of thousands of its citizens, he will seek powers to prevent sales of local authority houses in London in future.
§ Mr. FreesonMy right hon. Friend has already used his powers to restrict to a minimum the sale of local authority houses in Greater London and in other areas of great housing pressure. I do not think it would be reasonable to allow no sales at all.
