§ Mr. Nicholas Bakerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the London boroughs which charge four times the fee for private graves to nonresidents as are charged to residents; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. WaldegraveThe information requested is not available centrally. Since 1974, the Department has had no responsibility for the level of cemetery fees charged by burial authorities.
§ Mr. Peter Bruinvelsasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many council houses have been sold to date in Leicester under the right-to-buy legislation; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir George YoungThree thousand five hundred and nine council dwellings were sold in Leicester between October 1980 and September 1984 under the right-to-buy legislation.
I hope many more tenants of the city council will take advantage of their right to buy, not least as a result of the wider opportunities provided by the Housing and Building Control Act 1984.
