HC Deb 23 February 1987 vol 111 c96W
Mr. Hoyle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what instructions have been given to Warrington and Runcorn development corporation in relation to the disposal of its housing stock, with particular reference to debt and future repairs liability.

Mr. John Patten

No such instructions have been given since a direction was issued in March 1985 under section 43 of the New Towns Act 1981 requiring consultations with the Warrington borough council on a housing transfer scheme. The Department will be responding to the outcome of those consultations as soon as possible.
