§ Mr. GerrardTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many responses were received by his Department to the Green Paper on access to local authority and housing association tenancies; which representations have not been included in this total and for what reasons; and what was the previous highest number of responses to one of his Department's Green Papers.
§ Sir George YoungThe total of all responses received is now over 9,500. As I said in my answer to the hon. Member for Leeds, West (Mr. Battle) on 12 April,Official Report, column 133, the Department has on occasion received substantially more representations on other matters of widespread interest.
