HC Deb 12 November 1979 vol 973 cc446-7W
Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the names of the local government housing authorities which have sent him letters of support for his policy on the sale of council houses.

Mr. Stanley

Local authorities are not in the habit of writing such letters, but many have clearly approved our policy on sales by fully adopting the terms permitted by the general consent which we issued in May.
