§ Mr. Gordon CampbellSubsidy payments in respect of the Scottish local 179W authority financial year 1972–73, under the provisions of the Housing (Financial Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1972, are as follows:
£million Housing residual subsidy 42.5 Housing expenditure subsidy 4.0 Slum clearance subsidy 0.06 Rent rebate subsidy 6.2 Rent allowance subsidy 0.28 High cost subsidy — Estimates for the year ending 31st March 1974 are given on page 13 of the Revised Supply Estimates 1973–74 (HC 315). In the following two years, at least as high a level of subsidy in total seems likely to be maintained.
