HC Deb 07 February 1977 vol 925 c505W
Mr. Craigen

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what response he has been receiving from district authorities throughout Scotland to his consultation paper on the encouragement of tenant management and housing co-operative schemes.

Mr. Hugh D. Brown

The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities commented on the consultation paper issued last June and subsequently on the draft of the circular now shortly to be issued to local authorities. The Convention agreed that tenants should be more involved in housing management but emphasised that the means of participation must reflect local circumstances and that progress would be limited by the financial and manpower resources available.
