To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a table showing the percentage of (a) sheltered and (b) non-sheltered or general needs houses in the (i) district council, (ii) Scottish Homes, (iii) housing association and co-operative, (iv) private rented and (v) owner-occupied sectors which are served by community alarm systems.

The available information on sheltered houses, which covers the installation of community alarms, was published in December 1992 in the statistical bulletin, "Housing Trends in Scotland—Quarter ended 30 June 1992", which is available in the House Library. No additional information on community alarm systems is held centrally.
