HC Deb 07 July 1976 vol 914 cc579-80W
Mr. Lee

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will refrain from sanctioning the sale by Birmingham District Council of council houses at less than market value.

Mr. Freeson

I have no request before me from Birmingham City Council to sanction the sale of council houses at less than market value. But, under the consents already available, the authority may sell council houses either at current unrestricted market value or at a reduced price where certain conditions of sale are imposed.
