Mr. Carter-Jones
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will consider authorising local authorities to employ a small number of extra staff to provide an at cost service to facilitate council house exchanges which are in the public and tenants' interests; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Freeson
