18. Mr. Duncan Smith

Mr. Curry

The implementation timetable for housing management CCT provides the work to be phased in. The timetable provides for contracts to be awarded between 1 April 1995 and 1 April 1998, depending upon the size of the authority and its state of preparedness for CCT. Authorities reorganised as a result of the review of local government are allowed an additional 18 months.
