HC Deb 25 January 1972 vol 829 c392W
Mr. Michael Cocks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) if he will seek a voluntary agreement with the National House Builders Registration Council that their members will not make profit out of plots of land on which they build houses for sale;

(2) if he will seek a voluntary agreement with the National House Builders Registration Council that their members will not create rent charges or chief rents on plots of land on which they build houses for sale;

(3) if he will seek a voluntary agreement with the National House Builders Registration Council that their members will not create long leaseholds on plots of land on which they build houses for sale;

(4) if he will seek a voluntary agreement with the National House Builders Registration Council that their members will inform prospective house purchasers of the cost price of the plot of land on which they build a house for sale.

Mr. Amery

The object of the National House Builders Registration Council is to improve standards of house-building and to protect house purchasers against shoddy building. It would not be appropriate to seek their agreement to any of these matters.
