HC Deb 30 January 1989 vol 146 cc19-20W
Ms. Harman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what the arrangements will be for the ballot in a housing action trust; whether each household will have one vote; and, in the case of joint tenancies, which of the joint tenants will be invited to cast vote.

Mr. David Trippier

We propose to ask the Electoral Reform Society to arrange for the conduct of ballots under the terms of section 61(3)(a) of the Housing Act 1988. Each secure tenant, including each joint tenant, living within an area proposed for designation will have a vote.
