HC Deb 13 July 1983 vol 45 c381W
37. Mr. Strang

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make additional money available to housing authorities to enable them to tackle the problem of structural defects of Unlit houses.

Mr. Ancram

The treatment of structural defects in houses owned by public authorities is a matter for the authorities themselves to decide upon within the resources available to them. The Government are still considering what action might be appropriate in the case of structurally defective houses of the Unlit or similar types sold by housing authorities to former tenants.
