Mr. Cook

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish an estimate of the number of households in Scotland in all forms of public and private sector tied accommodation, disaggregated as far as is possible and reasonable.

Mr. Rifkind

It is estimated that there are about 10,000 households in tied accommodation owned by regional coun- cils, 1,000 in tied accommodation owned by district or island councils and approximately a further 60,000 in other forms of tied accommodation.
