Housing (Hansard, 25 January 1973)

§ Mr. Ewing
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will consider additional financial incentives to Scottish local authorities which have a housing shortage.

§ Mr. Gordon Campbell
The new subsidy system provided in the Housing (Financial Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1972 achieves precisely this objective by concentrating Government assistance on areas where current housing needs are greatest.

§ Mr. Ewing
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland, in view of the known housing submissions by Scottish local authorities in 1971 and 1972, if he will indicate how many local authority houses he expects to be completed in 1973 and 1974.

§ Mr. Gordon Campbell
I have made no estimates but completions in 1973 and 1974 will reflect the increase in local authority tender approvals during the last two years over those in 1970.

§ Mr. Ewing
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish in the Official Report a list indicating the names of local authorities in Scotland which did not submit any new house building programmes in 1972.

§ Mr. Gordon Campbell
Many local authorities submitted their new house building proposals for 1972 before 1st December 1971, in order to qualify under the favourable residual subsidy provisions of the Housing (Financial Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1972. They are included (see footnote) in the following list of authorities which did not submit building programmes in the calendar year 1972:
