HC Deb 28 July 1983 vol 46 cc596-9W
Mr. Dewar

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the gross capital allocations to Scottish housing authorities for the years 1979–80 to 1983–84 inclusive, by (i) local authorities broken down into (a) total allocation, (b) block A and (c) block B, (ii) housing corporation, (iii) South of Scotland Housing Association and (iv) new towns.

Mr. Ancram

I assume that, at (iii), the hon. Gentleman means in fact the Scottish Special Housing Association.

Allocations were made gross for the years 1979.80 to 1981–82. The local authority figures are to be found in "Scottish Housing Statistics", vol. 9, page 32, vol. 15, page 28, and vol. 18, page 31. These are available in the Library. For 1982–83 and 1983–84 the net allocations to local authorities are in the table below.
