§ Mr. Skeetasked the Secretary of State for the Environment, (1) in determining how the Property Services Agency should dispose of house properties that have been entrusted to it for disposal, if he will instruct the Agency to take into account the stock of houses owned by the local authority in question in deciding whether it would be more equitable to make a direct transfer to sitting tenants who may wish to buy their homes than to the local authority;
(2) whether he will recommend that the vendor of Crown residential properties should give an instruction that the Property Services Agency should consider encouraging home ownership by sitting tenants rather than by selling to local authorities which may or may not permit tenants to purchase;
501W(3) if he will arrange for Property Services Agency disposals of houses in future to be offered first to sitting tenants, rather than to local authorities, so that more people may be encouraged to purchase their own houses;
(4) if he will direct the Property Services Agency to give first option to sitting tenants employees of the Royal Aeronautical Establishment Bedford to buy the properties in Clapham, Bedfordshire, in which they have resided for a large number of years.
