HC Deb 19 May 1982 vol 24 c139W
Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will seek to amend the Housing Act 1980 to give full recognition of tenancy of council property by both men and women, where either seeks to buy following a separation.

Mr. Stanley

I can give no undertakings as to amending legislation at this stage, but I am giving further consideration to the right-to-buy provisions as they affect divorced and separated persons.
