HC Deb 11 July 1984 vol 63 cc552-3W
19. Mr. Eggar

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take further steps to enable tenants to buy their rented flats and maisonettes.

Mr. Gow

I share my hon. Friend's wish to see more council tenants buy their flats and maisonettes. The Housing and Building Control Act — which received Royal Assent on 26 June — includes a number of measures to extend the opportunity for public sector tenants to buy their homes.
