HC Deb 28 June 1995 vol 262 c720W
32. Mr. John Marshall

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the latest estimate of the level of owner-occupation in Scotland. [29403]

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

At the end of December 1994, the owner-occupation level in Scotland reached 57 per cent., compared with 35 per cent. in 1979. This shows that the Government's policies have significantly increased the level of home ownership in Scotland and extended choice to many people who would otherwise have had to continue renting.
