asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his policy in regard to the co-ownership of flats in mansion blocks; and if it is his intention to seek to introduce legislation to empower tenants' associations to purchase their blocks.

I have nothing to add to the answer I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Paddington (Mr. Latham) on 14th February.—[Vol. 944, c. 154.]

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will be prepared to receive a deputation of Members of Parliament and representatives of tenants of mansion blocks to discuss recent rises in rents and the future of co-ownership schemes in privately owned mansion blocks.

I refer the hon. Member to the letter I wrote to him on 23rd May.
