HC Deb 21 May 1991 vol 191 cc464-6W
Mr. McAllion

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many applications have been approved under the rents-to-mortgage scheme for(a) Scottish Home tenants, (b) tenants of new town development corporations and (c) local authority tenants in Scotland; and how many have been rejected for each category.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

[holding answer 14 May 1991]: Information on sales and applications in process, based on returns to 30 April 1991, is shown in the table. The eligibility of a tenant to purchase under the rent to mortgage scheme is checked before a formal application to purchase is made. It is therefore not necessary to reject applications.

Sales Applications in process
Scottish Homes 144 95
New Town Development Corporations 6 41
Local Authorities 118
