HC Deb 22 July 1975 vol 896 cc198-9W
Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he will, as an anti-inflationary measure, encourage local authorities to sell the leaseholds of their corporate estates without having to wait the usual five-year period; and whether any estimate has been made of the income which would accrue to local authorities in Wales if they pursued that policy.

Mr. John Morris

This is a matter for local authorities to decide. It is not possible to make a meaningful estimate of the likely proceeds of any such disposals of property.
