Mr. Smith: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his policy on investments by housing associations in
derivatives.[31985]
Mr. Clappison: Housing associations are allowed to use derivatives only in order to reduce risk and, in particular, the risk of
interest rates fluctuating. Each derivative transaction must match a corresponding identified risk. Speculation is not permitted.
Guidance on investment in derivatives by housing associations is set out in Housing Corporation circular 11/95.
