§ Lord James Douglas-Hamiltonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he intends to make regulations under the Housing Defects Act so that the owner of an Orlit house or other house covered by the terms of the Housing Defects Act will be entitled to a grant if he or she has purchased the house from another private owner, the property having been previously a tenanted council house.
§ Mr. AncramThe Housing Defects Act already makes provision for grant, in the circumstances described, provided certain conditions under that Act are met.
