HC Deb 27 January 1971 vol 810 c111W
19. Mr. John D. Grant

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what extra funds have so far been made available, through the sale of council houses, for the Greater London Council and Birmingham Corporation to build homes for the elderly and disabled in 1971.

Mr. Channon

Capital receipts from the sale of council houses would normally be used for housing purposes, though not necessarily to build houses for the elderly and disabled. I suggest that the hon. Member should approach the Greater London Council and the Birmingham Corporation for the information he seeks.
