asked the Secretary of State for Employment (1) whether he has any proposals to enable more council house tenants to take advantage of the employment transfer scheme by assisting them to secure accommodation in areas to which they and their families move.(2) whether he has any proposals to make it easier for council house tenants to take advantage of the employment transfer scheme by assisting them to secure accommodation in the areas to which they and their families move.

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that it has no proposals to assist council house tenants to move by assisting them to find accommodation in areas to which they might move.
