HC Deb 15 May 1972 vol 837 c27W
72. Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, in order to inform other local authorities, he will now publish his reply to the proposals for new council rent levels in the city made to him by the Birmingham Corporation Director of Housing.

Mr. Julian Amery

The council's director of housing has written informally to the Department about the possibility of a direction under Clause 63(4) of the Housing Finance Bill. It is not the custom to publish replies to such informal communications from local authorities.
