HC Deb 27 March 1972 vol 834 c19W
Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the guidance issued to local authorities about the need to maintain confidentiality of information in conducting means tests in connection with the introduction of the Housing Finance Bill's provisions; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Channon

My right hon. Friend attaches great importance to the maintenance of confidentiality and will see to it that the point is emphasised to local authorities at the proper time.
