HC Deb 01 August 1972 vol 842 c109W
Mr. Cormack

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will seek an early meeting with the National Federation of Building Trades Employers and with the National Housebuilders Federation, with a view to discussing an industrial code of practice which will discourage gazumping.

Mr. Amery

The main present need in the private housing market is to increase the supply of new dwellings, and that is already being rapidly brought about. I am in regular contact with the builders' organisations about this and related matters.
