§ Mr. David MarshallTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the total number of housing units in Glasgow classified as multi-storey flats; and how many of these are unoccupied at the last date for which figures are available. [8245]
§ Mr. ChisholmInformation on the number of dwellings by type and location is available only for dwellings owned by local authorities. At 1 April 1996, the latest date for which information is available, there were 23,145 local authority dwellings in Glasgow classified as high rise flats. Information on unoccupied dwellings (vacant stock) is collected from local authorities, but not specifically by type of dwelling.
