§ 42. Sir John Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement about the progress of the tenants' exchange scheme.
§ Mr. StanleyPublic sector tenants who want to exchange their present homes for ones in different areas of England and Wales have been able to register with the tenants exchange scheme since 1 April. By 9 May over 5,000 registrations forms had been received by the computer bureau that my Department has contracted to run the scheme. Each local authority will be sent in early July the first list of tenants elsewhere in England and Wales who want to move into that authority's area. Further updated lists will then be sent monthly.
