asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish in the Official Report a table showing the individual and total bids for housing capital allocation by the Scottish new towns development corporations in response to his letter of December 1986, including a breakdown between capital allocation, between rehabilitation and new construction, and the estimates by development corporations of expected revenue from sales of assets.

The following tables set out the estimates contained in the budgets recently submitted to my Department by the new town development corporations:sterilisation performed in Scotland between 1968 and 1986

The number of legal abortions without sterilisation performed in Scotland between 1968 and 1985 by gestation period is given in table 1. The available information about the number of legal abortions without sterilisation by method is given in table 2. Figures for 1986 are not yet available.

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many National Health Service abortions were performed in each health board area in Scotland in 1984, 1985 and 1986.

The number of abortions performed in National Health Service hospitals in 1984 and 1985 is set out in the table by health board of treatment. The figures for the island health boards have been grouped together because of the small number of terminations performed. Figures for 1986 are not yet available.
