§ Mr. Sproatasked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) what local authorities in Scotland have informed him of their intention to give 75 per cent. house improvement grants only to owner-occupiers; and if he will make a statement;
(2) whether he has been informed by Aberdeen Council of its decision to give 75 per cent. house improvement grants only to owner-occupiers; and what reply he has sent.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellA local authority reaching such a decision would not have to inform me, and none has done so. I hope that no local authority will restrict grants in this way.
