HC Deb 06 November 1979 vol 973 cc144-5W
Mr. Bright

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) whether he has any plans to facilitate the transfer of properties by council house tenants moving under the employment transfer scheme:

(2) whether he is considering introducing measures, within the framework of the forthcoming housing legislation, to enable council house tenants who move under the employment transfer scheme to secure local authority housing for themselves and their families in the areas to which they go.

Mr. Stanley

My proposals for assisting mobility in public sector housing are contained in the consultation paper on the tenants' charter, a copy of which has been placed in the Library of the House. I shall be discussing with the local authority associations how the proposals can help people who move under the employment transfer scheme.
