HC Deb 15 November 1989 vol 160 c247W
Mr. Fraser

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has studied the recent decision of the Court of Appeal in the case of Family Housing Association v. Jones and its implications for the use of short-life empty dwellings by housing associations and local authorities; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Chope

It is not possible to assess the full implications of the judgment in this case until it has been fully reported.
