§ Mr. DavidsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish(a) a list of care and repair grants made for each local authority in Scotland and (b) how much each local authority in Scotland received for such grants per 1,000 of population, for each of the last three years. [74014]
§ Mr. Macdonald[holding answer 8 March 1999]: Details of individual Care and Repair grants provided by local authorities are not held centrally. The cost of grants given to owners benefiting from the Care and Repair scheme is met from the gross capital resources available to local authorities. The Scottish Office and the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities have agreed that expenditure on Care and Repair should be a shared priority for central and local government. The value of works completed in 1997–98 was around £6 million, covering some 1,400 homes. Revenue funding in 1997–98 amounted to £1.2 million.
From 1 July, this will be a matter for the Scottish Parliament.
