§ Mr. TurnerTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what plans he has to meet the representative bodies for the housing co-operative movement to discuss funding and strategy for the housing co-operative sector; [18839]
(2) what steps he is taking to ensure that the views of tenants in housing co-operatives are adequately represented to Government. [18840]
§ Mr. Robert B. JonesWhile there are no current plans to meet the representative bodies for the housing co-operative movement, I will be accepting the invitation from the all-party group on housing co-operatives, on behalf of the Minister for Housing, for a meeting to discuss funding and strategy. Tenants of housing co-operatives can of course feed their views into that group, as well as passing them on directly to the Housing Corporation or to Government.
