HC Deb 12 November 1980 vol 992 cc202-3W
22. Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if the New Forest district council has yet submitted to him a satisfactory scheme enabling its tenants to purchase the houses in which they live.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

The right-tobuy provisions of the Housing Act 1980 do not require local authorities to submit schemes for the sale of council houses. They have been in force since 3 October and are being implemented by New Forest district council, so far as I am aware.
