HC Deb 10 December 1973 vol 866 cc50-1W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will, as a matter of urgency, set up an inquiry to investigate new methods of financing the modernisation of council and Scottish Special Housing Association houses, in view of the discomfort and upheaval suffered by elderly and disabled tenants under the present time-limited grant system.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

It is for housing authorities to follow management policies which minimise disturbance to tenants, particularly the elderly and the disabled, from the carrying out of improvement works, whether or not the works attract the current higher level of grant.
