§ Mr. GorrieTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the Government's target for the number of houses to be built in Scotland for social rent(a) in 1997 and (b) in 1998. [9621]
§ Mr. ChisholmThe Government do not set targets for the number of houses to be built in Scotland. We have, however, approved a target for Scottish Homes to provide 2,400 houses for rent by housing associations in 1997–98. Local authorities also plan to build a total of 402 houses in 1997–98 for social rent.
