Question:
72 Mr. Hayes asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government his views, if any, concerning the need to change the rules which apply to the valuation of council and corporation homes sold under the tenant purchase scheme, from the current market value price to the construction value plus inflation price; if this valuation change is being considered by his Department; the beneficial outcome this policy would give to local authority tenants who wish to purchase their own homes; the estimated cost of this proposal to the Exchequer; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
