Mr. Parry

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations have been made to the Government office on Merseyside by the Albert dock residents association concerning its lease when the Merseyside development corporation is wound up. [34461]

Sir Paul Beresford

The Government office for Merseyside has received three letters during the past two years from the Albert dock residents association concerning that lease and other issues.

Mr. Parry

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many residents have had court proceedings taken against them by the Albert Dock company for leasing their apartment between 1 January 1989 and 1 January 1995. [34384]

Sir Paul Beresford

This is a confidential matter between the Albert Dock Company and each and every occupier, and I am unable to provide this information.

Mr. Parry

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish the clawback clauses included in the terms of the sale of the leases of properties by(a) the Albert Dock Company, (b) Barratt and (c) other companies within the Merseyside development corporation. [34487]

Sir Paul Beresford

The detailed terms of each and every sub-disposal by the Albert Dock Company, Barratt and, indeed, any other developer within the corporation's area is really a matter of negotiation between a purchaser of an interest and the seller of that interest. It is a confidential matter, and I am unable to provide the information required.
