HC Deb 24 July 1985 vol 83 cc557-8W
Mr. Hunter

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what arrangements he proposes to make for the allocation, following abolition of the Greater London council's rights and liabilities, under agreements under the Town Development Act 1952.

Sir George Young

As I indicated in my written answer to the hon. Member for Newham, North-West (Mr. Banks) on 23 November 1984, at column 315, the London Residuary Body will assume the GLC's liabilities under existing town development agreements. The GL.C's tenancy nomination rights under those agreements will be transferred to the Secretary of State. It is his intention to exercise those nomination rights through the National Mobility Steering Committee. Any other GLC rights under the town development agreements will pass to the London Residuary Body.
