HC Deb 24 June 1988 vol 135 c738W
Mr. Gerald Bowden

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what information he has as to the continuing delay in the purchase by Mr. W. B. Hamond of his home at 12b Mount Adon park, London SE22 ODT from Southwark borough council.

Mrs. Roe

I am most concerned about the continuing delay in this case, which Southwark says is due to a shortage of valuers. I understand that a section 125 offer notice is expected to be served in early July.

Mr. Gerald Bowden

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what information he has regarding the reasons for the delay in the purchase by Mrs. R. Newton of her home at 10 Denesmead, Herne Hill, London SE24 from Southwark borough council.

Mrs. Roe

I understand that industrial action has caused a delay in the dispatch of the draft lease. The council says that it expects to dispatch it next month.
