HC Deb 28 April 1977 vol 930 c415W
Mr. Sillars

asked 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 Ewing

It 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.
