HC Deb 20 January 1988 vol 125 cc742-3W
23. Mr. Bevan

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will meet the Building Societies Association to discuss the role of building societies in investing in rented housing.

Mrs. Roe

I have already discussed this topic with the Building Societies Association. I am pleased to see that a major building society has announced a significant initiative in rented housing, and I hope that others will also wish to involve themselves in this area.
