HC Deb 25 February 1987 vol 111 cc275-6W
Mr. Maxton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will provide details of the average amount per dwelling spent on repairs and modernisation by (a) local authorities, (b) the Scottish Special Housing Association and (c) the New Town Development Corporations for each of the years 1978–79 to 1985–86, expressed in (i) cash terms and (ii) 1985–86 outturn prices.

Mr. Ancram

This question has been interpreted as seeking information on current expenditure on repairs and maintenance and capital expenditure on modernisation. The information is set out in the tables, in cash terms and at 1985–86 constant prices.
