HC Deb 24 May 1989 vol 153 c583W
18. Mr. Yeo

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what recent representations he has received regarding empty public sector housing.

Mr. Trippier

Apart from occasional correspondence, we have received some recent representations on empty public sector housing in the context of our homelessness review. They emphasise the contribution these properties could make to the relief of housing pressures and the need for all public sector landlords to manage their stock efficiently.
