HC Deb 27 July 1989 vol 157 c943W
Mr. Lewis

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what arrangements exist for the public to inspect details of asset sales by the residuary bodies.

Mr. David Hunt

Section 79 of the Local Government Act 1985 provides for local electors to inspect residuary bodies' accounts and documents relating to them. Details of individual sale transactions are, however, matters for the vendor and purchaser and therefore commercially confidential.
