HC Deb 20 May 1974 vol 874 cc40-1W
Mr. Michael Latham

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT a table showing the total amount of rate fund contributions to housing revenue accounts made by local authorities in Scotland for each of the last 10 years.

Mr. William Rose

The figures are as follows:

£ million
1964–65 21
1965–66 24
1966–67 28
1967–68 31
1968–69 37
1969–70 42
1970–71 41
1971–72 38
1972–73 28 (estimated)
1973–74 Not yet available

Changes from 1972–73 in the statutory requirements relating to housing revenue accounts affect the comparability of the figures.
