asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to receive the report on housing from the National Economic Development Office; and whether he will make a statement about the representations which his Department has received about the report from trade unions.

Mr. Freeson

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave on 7th March in answer to a Question from my hon. Friend the Member for Luton, West (Mr. Sedgemore).—[Vol. 927, c.393.] I have received no trade union representations about the matter. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State will take into account in the housing policy review all evidence submited to him.
