§ Mr. David MarshallTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is his estimate of the numbers of males and females living in sheltered housing accommodation, and on the waiting lists for such accommodation in each parliamentary constituency in Scotland.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThe Scottish Office does not make such estimates. Information on the public sector provision of sheltered housing is collected annually from district councils and published by the Scottish Development Department; the 1989 figures are contained in table 12 of Statistical Bulletin HSU No. 11: "Housing Trends in Scotland, quarter ended 30 June 1989", which was published in January 1990. A copy of this was sent to the hon. Member on publication, and further copies are available in the Library.
