HC Deb 10 January 1989 vol 144 cc503-4W
Mr. Grylls

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list those local authorities who have computerised their search facilities for home buyers.

Mr. Trippier

This information is not collected centrally. However, I understand that Plymouth and Portsmouth city councils and Wigan metropolitan borough council have computerised their search facilities, and that a number of other authorities are currently exploring the possibility.
