HC Deb 28 April 1975 vol 891 cc32-3W
Mr. Steen

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress has been made to date by the working party under the chairmanship of Mr. Harold Campbell with regard to corporation houses.

Mr. Freeson

An interim first stage report of the working party, which covers those forms of co-operative housing where there is no individual stake in the financial equity, has been completed and the local authority associations and various other bodies have been asked for their observations. These will be taken into account by the working party in completing its report. It is now working on the second part of this, covering co-ownership and other forms of co-operative tenure where the tenant is able to acquire an individual financial stake. I shall consider the recommendations of the working party when I have received the complete report, probably in July.
