HC Deb 24 May 1974 vol 874 c377W
Mr. Newens

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will empower the Harlow Development Corporation to repurchase all those dwellings previously sold to tenants by the corporation which are offered for sale by their present owners.

Mr. John Silkin

The development corporation has been authorised to repurchase up to 60 such houses in the current financial year. My right hon. Friend would be prepared to consider any request from the corporation for an increase in this number.
