§ Mr. Sillarsasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is his estimate of the numbers of households in Scotland affected by the system of leasehold; and if he will list the statutory provision in Scottish law which provides for the continuity of lease without substantial increases in charges.
§ Mr. Harry EwingIt is impracticable to provide such an estimate. There is no provision of Scottish law which requires the continuation of a residential lease when its term expires.
