Owner Occupation Mrs. Spelman To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what assessment was made by his Department's predecessor of the effectiveness of its Open Door scheme to promote home ownership. John Healey I am not aware of any assessment made by this Department's predecessor, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, of the effectiveness of the Open Door scheme to promote home ownership which operated in 1984 and 1985. Further research could be undertaken only at disproportionate cost.
