asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many completed units he expects to be made available in Scotland annually over the next two years as a result of the efforts of private housing associations and community-based housing associations.

There is no rigid distinction between private and community-based associations, but the number of houses expected to be completed by housing associations in Scotland financed through the Housing Corporation is:

	New	Rehabilitated
1979–80	1,300	2,500
1980–81	1,600	3,400

In addition, I would expect about 200 new and 200 rehabilitated houses to be completed each year by housing associations financed through local authorities.
