§ Mr. Robin F. Cookasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish in the Official Report the table in his answer to the hon. Member for Edinburgh, Central on Wednesday 5th April 1977 on local authority lending updated to the most recent available date.
§ Mr. Hugh D. BrownSince local authority lending allocations have been maintained at a high level and more prospective purchasers are seeking building society mortgages direct, we have, since April 1977, no longer required individual authorities to supply statistical information about the operation of the support lending scheme. I gave my hon. Friend the figures for Scotland as a whole in my Written Answers on 6th April 1977 and 28th February 1978.—[Vol. 929, c.565–6; Vol. 945, c. 140–1.]
