Rents-to-mortgages Scheme (Hansard, 22 January 1992)

HC Deb 22 January 1992 vol 202 c197W 197W

§ 2. Mr. Dunn
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has any plans to extend the rents-to-mortgages scheme; and if he will make a statement.

§ Sir George Young
The pilot schemes in Basildon and Milton Keynes have so far helped about 100 new town tenants into owner-occupation, and they have successfully tested the working of rents to mortgages. We will now consider whether to extend the scheme to local authority tenants.
