§ Mr. Freesonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will set up an inquiry into his Department's handling of the joint housing association MIND project at 1 Sheldon Raod, London NW2; what steps he plans to take to ensure that this project starts as soon as possible; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergI see no reason to set up an inquiry. Full documentation for the project was received in the Department on 6 November 1980 and the Housing Corporation was notified that it was approved in principle on 21 January. It is now for the Housing Corporation to decide what priority to give to the financing of the project and that will determine how soon it may start.
