§ Mr. Ernie Ross
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the latest available housing allocation bid by Dundee district to his Department ; and what percentage the provisional allocation represents of the bid.

Dundee district council submitted its 1979 housing plan on 16 April 1980 with its proposed capital programme for 1980–81 of £7.154 million on the housing revenue account block and £2.640 million on the non-HRA block. On 21 February 1980 I issued final allocations of £6.450 million on the HRA block and £2.640 million on the non-HRA block at outturn prices. Taking account of the different price bases, the HRA allocation represents 85 per cent., and the non-HRA allocation 103 per cent.
