HC Deb 23 March 1972 vol 833 cc369-70W
Mr. Wolrige-Gordon

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will take steps to give further encouragement to the improvement of the housing in environmental improvement areas.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

To encourage more work of this kind, which is complementary to the improvement of houses themselves, I have today laid before the House an order increasing the limit of expenditure qualifying for Government grant, in respect of each house in an environmental improvement area, from £100 to £200.
