§ Mr. Wrayasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many low-cost houses are at present needed in order to extend private home ownership to low income families.
§ Mr. WaldegraveNot all low-income families would wish to try to buy a house on mortgage and many would have insufficient means to do so, even on low-cost home ownership terms. There is, therefore, no point in attempting to estimate how many low-cost houses are needed to enable all low-income families to buy.
