HC Deb 11 December 1985 vol 88 c687W
12. Mr. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much public money has been paid to housing associations in Scotland since May 1979; and how this compares with the preceding five years.

Mr. Ancram

Total payments from public funds amounted to £524.3 million in the six years from 1 April 1979 to 31 March 1985; this compares with £41.91 million for the live years from 1 April 1974 to 31 March 1979.
