HC Deb 19 November 1986 vol 105 cc190-1W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Prime Minister if she will arrange a transfer of resources for those with special housing needs from the Department of Health and Social Security to the Department of the Environment housing budget in order that responsibility for a comprehensive housing policy could be within a single Department.

The Prime Minister

The Secretary of State for the Environment already has a comprehensive responsibility for housing policy. There is full co-ordination of policies with the Department of Health and Social Security and other interested Departments. Transfers of resources between the two Departments are made as and when the need arises.
