HC Deb 10 March 1971 vol 813 c116W
88. Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will consider giving guidance to local authorities concerning the competence and standing of housing associations making applications to them for loans.

Mr. Peter Walker

It is for local authorities to take steps to satisfy themselves about the competence and standing of any housing association applying to them for a loan. I am currently reviewing a report on the future of the voluntary housing musing movement.
