§ Mr. Dewarasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a table showing the number of local authority homes in each Scottish local authority area which were considered to be in need of repair in each year since 1979.
§ Mr. RifkindThe information requested is not held centrally. However, the 1986 housing plan checklists include figures for the numbers of local authority houses requiring major repairs, which, for this purpose, comprise works like extensive repairs to the structure or fabric of dwellings to overcome problems such as structural instability, water penetration, inadequate thermal or sound insulation or condensation. The figures are shown in the table.
