HC Deb 20 February 1991 vol 186 cc181-2W
Mr. McMaster

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how long he estimates it will take to provide a sheltered home for every person in Renfrew district who desires one, if expenditure is maintained at its current level.

Lord James Douglas Hamilton

No such estimates are made centrally. The provisional housing capital allocations for 1991–92 issued to Renfrew district council total £21.561 million. Apart from £0.757 million which is earmarked to fund innovative housing projects in the Ferguslie Park partnership area, the remainder of these resources are available for use at the discretion of the local authority to meet housing needs in the area, including the provision of sheltered housing if that is a local priority.
