§ Mr. Martyn JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what assessment he has made of the role of low-impact and self-built accommodation in the provision of affordable housing; and if he will make a statement. [3374]
§ Mr. Raymond S. RobertsonThere are a number of schemes in place designed to encourage the provision of appropriate affordable housing in Scotland. The role of low-impact accommodation within that provision has not yet been formally assessed. Scottish Homes is supporting self-build housing through a number of its existing grant mechanisms and will be evaluating the success of this approach in due course.
