HC Deb 10 November 1970 vol 806 c128W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps he is taking to give priority to providing houses for the aged and disabled; and what are the Government's housing targets for these special groups of people between 1971 and 1975.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I recently asked local authorities to review their provision for these special groups, and to give particular attention to the inclusion of sheltered housing schemes in their future building programmes. It is for the authorities themselves to draw up these programmes.
