§ Mr. Robert C. Brownasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what percentage of houses in Scotland are connected to the public sewerage system; how this compares with other member states of the European Community; and how this compares with the United States of America.
§ Mr. AncramInformation about the percentage of houses in Scotland connected to the public sewerage system is not available. It is however estimated that about 94 per cent. of the population of Scotland live in accommodation so connected. The other information requested is not held by the Scottish Development Department, but I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given yesterday by my hon. Friend the Minister for Housing, Urban Affairs and Construction at the Department of the Environment.
