HC Deb 20 October 1971 vol 823 c120W
46. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if lie will send a circular to local authorities encouraging them to give 100 per cent. loans to housing communes; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Channon

My right hon. Friend will continue to give the voluntary housing movement all possible encouragement. A letter sent to housing authorities in England by the Department on 31st August stressed that housing associations may need 100 per cent. mortgages.
