§ Mr. DonohoeTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects Irvine development corporation to begin transferring properties to the Irvine housing association.
§ Mr. Stewart[holding answer 15 February 1994]: The corporation is negotiating the transfer of newly built homes and vacant properties to Irvine housing association. The negotiations will not be concluded until after Irvine housing association is registered as a housing association by Scottish Homes. It is not, therefore, possible to set a date for the first transfer.
