HC Deb 27 June 1990 vol 175 c241W
Dr. Godman

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how the amount of the financial allocation for the new system of home improvement grants for the financial year 1991–92 will be determined.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

[holding answer 25 June 1990]: The Government have no immediate plans to introduce a new system of improvement and repairs grants in Scotland. Resources for housing capital expenditure in 1991–92 will be allocated, as in previous years, on the basis of local authorities' relative needs and with reference to their capital programmes and housing plans.
