HC Deb 13 April 1981 vol 3 cc29-30W
Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will set out the provision made for housing capital expenditure in Scotland by (i) local authorities, (ii) new towns, (iii) the Scottish Special Housing Association and (iv) housing associations on schemes funded by the Housing Corporation, for each year since 1977–78, on the same two bases as the figures for English local authorities given in the Official Report, 26 February, c. 438.

Mr. Younger

The information requested is set out in the table following. Comparable information on the volume actually achievable from the provision for capital expenditure by housing associations on schemes funded by the Housing Corporation prior to 1980–81 is not available, as provision in the earlier years related to the value of projects approved by the Housing Corporation and not to expenditure.
