HC Deb 10 February 1981 vol 998 c312W
Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he intends to issue further guidance to those council tenants who wish to buy their homes and are being prevented by certain local authorities; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Stanley

Local authority tenants who have evidence that their right to buy is being delayed or obstructed should write to the appropriate regional office of the Department of the Environment, which will take up their cases with the authorities concerned. The addresses of the Department of the Environment's regional offices appear on the back cover of the booklet "The Right to Buy: a guide for council, new town and housing association tenants", which is obtainable from local authorities and citizens' advice bureaux as well as from the regional offices themselves.
