asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will provide details of the housing revenue account capital payments for 1978–79 to 1985–86 inclusive, detailing the amount of capital spending by local authorities for each year on (a) modernisation, (b) capital repairs, (c) new dwellings, (d) gross lending and (e) other, expressing these figures in (i) cash prices and (ii) 1985–86 outturn prices.

The information requested is set out in the tables. Local authorities' capital payment returns do not distinguish between council house modernisations and capital repairs.
