HC Deb 13 May 1988 vol 133 cc279-80W
Mrs. Fyfe

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will undertake a study of the effect of poor quality housing on families with young children.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

My right hon. and learned Friend has no plans at present to undertake a study of this kind. It is the responsibility of district and islands councils to assess the housing needs of their areas.
