§ 52. Mr. Leeasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish the criteria applied to housing association applications for registration under provisions of the Housing Act 1974, and periodically the number of applications for registration and the number of such applications that are refused.
§ Mr. KaufmanThe statutory responsibility for registration lies with the Housing Corporation. It published criteria on 12th December 1974, and intends to issue monthly lists of housing associations which have been registered. I have arranged for copies of these documents to be placed in the Library. I understand that the corporation intends also to issue periodic Press statements of the numbers of applications made, and refused.
