§ Mr. RossThere were 58 under the Act of 1962, and 113 under earlier Acts. 2093 In addition, 127 and 14 respectively are being built.
§ Mr. BrewisIs it the right hon. Gentleman's intention to encourage housing associations? In particular, why was no mention made of them in the recent White Paper on housing in Scotland?
