HC Deb 28 July 1977 vol 936 cc420-1W
Mr. James White

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has to increase the level of indicative costs for public sector housing in Scotland.

Mr. Millan

Following a review of building costs in Scotland I have decided to increase the general level of indicative costs by three percentage points. Regional variations in indicative costs are also being adjusted to take account of recent tendering trends in certain areas.
