HC Deb 17 February 1989 vol 147 c424W
Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will direct the London residuary body to recover monies from Thamesmead town which can be distributed to London boroughs as capital receipts to be used for the purposes of housing.

Mr. Trippier

My right hon. Friend directed the LRB on 17 July 1987 to dispose of Thamesmead on payment of a capital sum and supplementary sums in respect of receipts from sales of dwellings by Thamesmead town up to 31 March 1999. The Local Government Reorganisation (Capital Money) (Greater London) Order, 1988 (SI No. 359) provides for the distribution of capital receipts received by the LRB to the London rating authorities.

Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has received any representations about the London borough of Redbridge's proposals to dispose of a portion of its housing stock; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Trippier

The Department has received no such representations.
