asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will arrange for one of the Ministers in his Department to receive a deputation on Wednesday 20 May from the residents of the Wimpey no fines dwellings in the Walsall borough to discuss the present state of their dwellings; and if he will make a statement.

I refer the hon. Member to my letter to him of 9 April on the question of a deputation by residents from Blakenhall in Walsall. It is for Walsall borough council to determine its own priorities for the repair and improvement of its housing stock within the total resources available.
