Mr. Winnick

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will name those local authorities who have requested the Land Commission to try and negotiate particular land sites for them.

Mr. K. Robinson

I am obtaining the information and will communicate with my hon. Friend.

Mr. Winnick

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how much land has yet to be sold to housing associations or any other body or individual on Crownhold terms by the Land Commission.

Mr. K. Robinson

The Land Commission have not yet bought any land for the purpose of sale on a Crownhold basis.

Mr. Winnick

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what plans are being made by the Land Commission to acquire particular sites to be sold to local authorities for council building purposes.

Mr. K. Robinson

The Commission are prepared to consider requests from local authorities to act on their behalf and are doing so in a number of cases, but many local authorities prefer to use their own powers.
