HC Deb 19 July 1972 vol 841 cc111-2W
52. Mr. Rost

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many local authorities have now indicated that they will comply with the circular urging the sale of council houses; how many have not yet replied; and how many have said they will not follow the Minister's advice.

Mr. Eyre

The impact of the circular will best be judged by the figures of sales in the coming months. As I said in my Written Answer to my Hon. Friend's similar Question on 5th July, the circular was issued on 13th June. It is too soon to assess the response to it.—[Vol. 840, c.136.]
