HC Deb 14 November 1973 vol 864 cc146-7W
32. Mr. Haselhurst

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he is satisfied with the progress of discussions between local authorities regarding the future of overspill estates, in the light of his Department's Circular 107/73; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Channon

The terms of the circular are that this is a matter for voluntary discussion between the local authorities concerned. I very much hope that, where problems exist, satisfactory solutions will be found in the best interests of the tenants of these estates.
