HC Deb 11 February 1969 vol 777 c258W
55. Mr. Speed

asked the Minister of Power if he will give a general direction to the National Coal Board that it should sell its houses to tenants at market value in cases where the tenant wishes, and is able, to buy.

Mr. Freeson

No; but I understand that this is already the policy of the N.C.B. where it no longer requires the houses and first offers for sale have been turned down by local authorities.
