§ Mr. McNamaraasked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he will publish the report of the study group on the programme of social ownership and renovation of council dwellings.
§ Mr. FreesonI am today sending copies of the group's first report to local authorities and local authority associations. I am also placing copies in the Library. The local authority associations and the GLC have accepted my request that the group continues in existence in order to continue its examination of programmes of municipalisation and the needs and problems of renovating old dwellings.
In particular the group will be considering in due course the implications of the work of the housing finance review in these areas.
