§ Mr. Gregor MacKenzieasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much money is being made available for the building of new council houses in the next 18 months.
§ Mr. YoungerCapital allocations for local authorities' expenditure on their own housing stock in 1981–82 amount to £232 million. Some of this will be used to build new houses, but it is for each authority to determine its priorities between new building and improvement of their existing stock. No decisions have, as yet, been taken about levels of capital expenditure on housing after March 1982.
