HC Deb 16 April 1975 vol 890 cc97-8W
7. Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is satisfied with the contribution made to the solution of the housing problem by the housing association movement.

Mr. Crosland

I am confident that the housing association movement is taking full advantage of the financial support provided for its benefit under the Housing Act 1974. Under the guidance of the Housing Corporation and with the co-operation of local authorities, it should be able to play an increasingly important part in meeting housing needs.
