asked the Minister for the Environment if the tenant purchaser of a local authority house is entitled to the £1,000 new house grant.
Comment on this
Under the terms of the 1978 tenant purchase scheme, which I announced on 23 December 1977, a tenant purchaser of a local authority house will in every case receive a discount of £1,300 from the gross price of the house. This discount includes £1,000 in lieu of the £1,000 new house grant which is payable to first-time owner-occupiers.
