HC Deb 26 October 1987 vol 121 c43W
Mr. Battle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has met representatives of the Building Societies Association with regard to the mortgageability of large panel system dwellings; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Waldegrave

My officials had a helpful discussion on this subject with representatives of the Building Societies Association on Wednesday 9 September and have since written to them confirming the points made at that meeting. The BSA had already publicised to its member societies the Building Research Establishment's findings on large panel properties and will be issuing further guidance to societies in due course.
