HC Deb 17 March 1980 vol 981 cc78-82W
Mr. Cook

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish in the Official Report the number of local authority, new town, Scottish Special Housing Association and other housing association houses that were started, under construction or completed in 1979 in Scotland as a whole and in each district or island authority area in Scotland.

Mr. Rifkind
