§ Mr. SillarsTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish details of research projects in the field of housing fully or partly funded by his Department in each of the past 10 years.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonInformation on social research in the housing field is contained in the "Register of Research" which is published each year by the central research unit of the Scottish Development Department and placed in the House of Commons Library. The Scottish Development Department also funds building research in the housing field, and I shall write to the hon. Member with such information as is available about this research.
