Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the current average weekly rent for a Scottish Special Housing Association house in Dundee and Scotland; what it was in the previous year; and what has been the percentage change in both cases.

Mr. Rifkind

Following is the information:

From July 1981 9.12 8.15
