Housing Association Grant

Ms Roseanna Cunningham: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what average levels of housing association grant he has assumed for Scottish Homes development programme for 1996-97 for (a) the total housing association and co-operative programme and (b) the housing association and co-operative programme for rent. [10108]

Mr. Raymond S. Robertson: Scottish Homes is currently drawing up proposals for its development programme in 1996-97, based on its public expenditure settlement, and I expect to consider its proposals next month. The average level of housing association grants will be set in the light of the approved programme and the associated performance targets. I shall be looking to Scottish Homes to improve on the current year's target of 60 per cent. leverage across its programme as a whole.

Mr. Home Robertson: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the current staffing establishment of the Scottish Charities Office; and what assessment he has made as to whether the office has sufficient resources to enable it to investigate allegations of irregularities within a reasonable time.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton: The Scottish Charities Office, which is a division of the Crown Office, is permanently staffed by two solicitors, two investigators and one administrative officer. It has access to the services of a chartered accountant on a consultative basis and to general support services within the Crown Office. My noble and learned Friend the Lord Advocate is satisfied that it has sufficient resources to deal with its current workload.
