asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will produce a table showing the number of local authority dwellings in each district at 31 March 1984 which required treatment for (a) condensation, and (b) rising/penetrating damp.

The information requested is set out in the table, which shows the figures submitted by local authorities in their housing plan checklists for 1984.As problems with condensation and penetrating damp often occur together, the same dwelling may appear in both sets of figures.
