HC Deb 09 June 1981 vol 6 cc89-90W
Mr. Allan Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will increase the limit on the amount which the Exchequer can contribute when a housing association improves a house for sale.

Mr. Younger

An order which came into effect yesterday increases this limit from £5,000 to £7,500. I hope that this increase will encourage housing associations to consider engaging in schemes of this kind.
