HC Deb 17 February 1988 vol 127 cc649-50W
Mr. Bill Walker

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give details of new housing developments which have been planned to commence in the current year in Angus.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

Angus district council's January 1986 housing plan sets out its general strategy for housing provision in its area. It is, however, for the council to deploy resources available for capital expenditure according to the priorities it determines on a year-to-year basis, and details of council projects programmed are not held centrally.

The Scottish Special Housing Association has no plans to commence any projects in the current year in Angus. The Housing Corporation in Scotland has implemented one scheme in the district, comprising 10 units, in the current year.

No detailed information is available centrally on private sector housing developments.
