§ Mr. Craigenasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was public expenditure on housing in Scotland at constant prices for each financial year from 1974–75 to 1985–86, inclusive.
§ Mr. AncramThe table shows public expenditure on housing in Scotland in both net and gross terms (that is, exclusive and inclusive of net capital receipts). It also shows the gross capital investment figures subsumed within the gross expenditure total, since the distinction between capital investment and subsidies is an important one.
