(2) if he will publish a table showing his most recent estimate of (a) the amount and (b) the percentage of housing stock below tolerable standard in (i) Renfrew district, (ii) Strathclyde region and (iii) Scotland; and if he will make a statement.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

[holding answer 11 June 1992]: The latest available estimates supplied by housing authorities of the number of dwellings below tolerable standard are given in the table. Information is held centrally only for Scotland as a whole, regions and districts.

Estimates for March 1991 and March 1992, based on a revised and improved annual return for housing authorities, will be published in the autumn.

The figures include, where appropriate, expenditure in the four urban partnerships and also on the homelessness and energy efficiency projects for which we made available additional resources last year.
