HC Deb 21 July 1987 vol 120 c180W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give a full and detailed account of the terms of the sale of Thamesmead to Thamesmead Town Ltd.; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Roe

I refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my hon. Friend the Minister for Housing and Planning to my hon. Friend the Member for Erith and Crayford (Mr. Evennett) on 20 July.

Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has exercised his rights to nominate tenants to accommodation at Thamesmead; and what will happen to his nomination rights if Thamesmead is sold to Thamesmead Town Ltd.

Mrs. Roe

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has been content to leave the London area mobility scheme to agree suitable arrangements with the London residuary body and Thamesmead town while Thamesmead has been vested in the LRB. When Thamesmead is transferred to Thamesmead town his nomination rights will cease. Thamesmead town has, however, undertaken to make some vacancies available to the scheme.
