HC Deb 09 April 1974 vol 872 c119W
Lord Balniel

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether it is his policy to encourage the sale of houses owned by the Commission for the New Towns to sitting tenants.

Mr. John Silkin

As I said in reply to the right hon. Member on 1st April, policy on this matter is under urgent review. I have asked the commission not to enter into any new commitments to sell rented houses for the time being.—[Vol. 871, c. 284.]
