HC Deb 26 October 1983 vol 47 c142W
Mr. MacKenzie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what information he has as to the number of local authority houses in each district that are boarded up and so unable to be used by applicants for council accommodation.

Mr. Younger

The information requested is not available, but information on the numbers of vacant public sector houses in each district in Scotland is included in the Scottish Development Department's statistical bulletin "Unoccupied Dwellings: A. Survey Following the 1981 Census" which was published on 19 October. Copies of the bulletin have been sent to Scottish Members and are available in the House Library.
