HC Deb 26 February 1992 vol 204 cc534-5W
Mr. McMaster

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a table showing the amount of housing support grant given to each Scottish local authority in each years since 1980 on the basis of the amount of council stock; and if he will make a statement.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

Housing support grant is a deficit subsidy payable to those local housing authorities whose estimated housing revenue account expenditure would otherwise exceed their estimated housing revenue account income. The table shows the grant entitlements of individual authorities in each financial year from 1980–81 to 1992–93 divided by the number of houses to which the relevant housing revenue account in the appropriate year applied or is estimated to apply.

1980–81 1981–82 1982–83 1983–84 1984–85 1985–86 1986–87 1987–88 1988–89 1989–90 1990–91 1991–92 1992–93
