HC Deb 10 March 1987 vol 112 cc106-7W
Mr. Fatchett

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to announce his decision on the proposed sale by Leeds metropolitan district council of maisonettes on Cartmel drive, Leeds, to the Regent Housing Association; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Tracey

The Department issued a formal letter of consent to the Director of Housing of Leeds City Council on 23 February 1987 following our unreserved endorsement of the Council's proposal to dispose of these dwellings, and others at Levens Garth and Boggart Hill, to the Yorkshire Metropolitan Housing Association for refurbishment by their development organisation, the Regent Housing Society Ltd. These disposals are entirely consistent with the Government's policy of bringing difficult to let council dwellings back into use with private sector capital.
