HC Deb 14 November 2000 vol 356 cc582-3W
Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will make it his policy to gather information centrally on the previous employers of the most senior staff of registered social landlords that have taken over former local authority housing stock and the names and relevant financial interests of the chairs of the boards of these organisations. [137707]

Mr. Mullin

Registered Social Landlords are not-for-profit companies independent of the public sector. Therefore I do not believe it would be appropriate for the Department to gather and hold centrally the information suggested by my hon. Friend.
