§ Mr. McKelveyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what targets for the disposal of new town assets have been set in each year since 1979; and how far they have been met.
§ Sir George YoungTown by town figures for the disposal of English new town commercial and industrial assets, for the three years 1979–80 to 1981–82, were given in my reply of 6 December 1982 to my hon. Friend the Member for Hertford and Stevenage (Mr. Wells). As my hon. Friend the Minister for Housing and Construction explained in his reply of 9 June 1982 to the hon. Member, to publish the indications we have given towns of the amounts they might be expected to raise through sales could jeopardise their negotiating positions.—[Vol. 33: c.408 Vol. 25: c. 144.]
