HC Deb 02 July 1975 vol 894 c481W
53. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will make a statement on the scheme proposed to him by the Epping Forest District Council and other local authorities whereby landlords would be enabled to choose tenants for premises which they could rent to the local authorities for letting by the latter to such tenants on terms agreed originally by the landlords and tenants and approved by the local authority.

Mr. Freeson

I would refer to my reply to a Question from my hon. Friend the Member for Holborn and St. Pancras, South (Mrs. Jeger) on Tuesday 25th February 1975.—[Vol. 887, c.69–70.]—My Department is already examining the scope for joint local authority owner managing schemes as part of its review of measures to make better use of housing stock and will be issuing a consultative document shortly.
