HC Deb 17 May 1972 vol 837 c110W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will issue guidance to all local housing authorities that they should establish facilities for the cheaper conveyance, purchase and sale of houses within any housing advice bureau operating in accordance with his previous advice.

Mr. Eyre

Departmental advice on the establishment of housing aid centres has included the suggestion that the centres should provide information on house purchase. The extent to which local authorities offer advice and help however is a matter for their discretion subject to compliance with statutory requirements.
