HC Deb 03 July 2001 vol 371 c120W
Mr. Waterson

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what plans his Department has to give an equity stake to residents in(a) council housing and (b) non-municipal social housing; and if he will make a statement. [1328]

Ms Keeble

The Government are committed to examining the ways in which social tenants might gain a stake in their homes. A range of options for how this might be done and the issues that these raise are now being considered. The current intention is to consult more widely once this work is further advanced, probably in the autumn.
