HC Deb 03 November 1993 vol 231 cc246-7W
Dr. Wright

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what are the figures for gross public investment in Scotland in the provision of housing, both new build and renovated, by(a) local authorities and (b) housing associations for each year since 1979–80 with the projected investment for both categories up to 1995–96, in 1992–93 prices; and if he will publish this information in the form of a table.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

The information is in the tables. Table 1 provides details of the total gross expenditure on housing by local authorities and housing associations in each year since 1979, expressed in 1992–93 prices, using gross domestic product deflators. Table 2 provides details in cash terms of the resource planning assumptions issued to local authorities as a guide for investment planning up to 1995–96. There are no comparable assumptions for housing association investment.
