HC Deb 31 January 1986 vol 90 c651W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give an assurance that the existing renovation programme covering ex-Greater London council housing stock will be completed on schedule by 1992.

Sir George Young

I cannot give such an assurance. After the abolition of the GLC, the boroughs will receive the resources which would otherwise have been given to the GLC for this purpose; but it will be for the boroughs to decide how to employ those resources according to their own priorities.
