HC Deb 16 July 1992 vol 211 c958W
Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will give further details on the plans to transfer Camden and Newbury resettlement units.

Miss Widdecombe

The Resettlement Agency is taking forward the plans announced on 5 February 1992 at column210 to transfer two resettlement units.

A number of well-established housing associations and voluntary bodies have expressed an interest and will be submitting detailed proposals to the Resettlement Agency.

These will be evaluated and a final decision will be made on 29 September 1992 and the successful organisations will be informed shortly thereafter. Negotiations with these organisations for the handover of operations on 31 March 1993 will commence immediately.
