HC Deb 09 July 1985 vol 82 c399W
Mr. Ernie Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will introduce legislation to provide grants to co-operatives composed of tenants in mansion blocks seeking to acquire an equity interest in the dwellings they occupy; and if he will make a statement.

Sir George Young

The Government have no such plans at present, but it is open to groups of tenants wishing to purchase the freehold of the mansion blocks in which they live to seek mortgage finance in the private sector.
