§ Mr. Litherlandasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has accepted the invitation from 510W Harpurhey branch of the Labour Party to visit the inner city area of Manchester and when it can expect a reply to its request.
§ Mr. HeseltineIt is a matter for the local authority to determine the best solution for the future of the Turkey Lane estate and the other estates in the city suffering from similar design faults. These are issues under active consideration within the council and, in the present circumstances, it would be inappropriate for me to accept the invitation to visit this estate. A reply has been sent to the secretary of the Harpurhey branch of the Labour Party.
