HC Deb 23 July 1982 vol 28 c342W
Mr. Murphy

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what constraints have been placed by Her Majesty's Treasury upon the Commission for the New Towns with regard to realising its assets.

Mr. Stanley

None; but the Government have a duty to ensure that public assets are realised on terms that, taking all circumstances into consideration, give the taxpayer a proper return, and the Commission for the New Towns is fully aware of this.
