HC Deb 03 November 1992 vol 213 c115W
Mr. Dafis

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will seek to establish a mobility discount scheme to enable public and social housing tenants to change to other forms of tenure.

Mr. Baldry

Section 129 of the Housing Act 1988 empowers local authorities to give grants to their tenants to help them obtain other accommodation by buying or leasing a home or by extending an existing property. Housing associations that are registered with the Housing Corporation may give similar grants to their tenants under the corporation's tenants incentive scheme.
