§ Mr. SoleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many assured tenancies of(a) newly built and (b) newly improved properties have been created in each of the years since 1980 in Scotland.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonNone. Sections 56 to 58 of the Housing Act 1980, which introduced the existing scheme of assured tenancies, do not apply to Scotland. There is no comparable provision in Scottish legislation.
