§ Mr. Harry GreenwayTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many police houses have been bought or leased over the past three years in the London borough of Ealing by housing associations; if he will state the associations concerned and the cost to the public funds in each case; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Charles Wardle[holding answer 30 March 1993]: I have been asked to reply.
The receiver for the Metropolitan police district is to transfer three blocks of flats in Ealing to Housing 21, the housing association arm of the Royal British Legion. Housing 21 will manage the flats for a fee and rents will be paid on to the receiver.
