Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.
Scotland Bill
That report is probably for the overall statistics. Sadly, because of the banking crisis, the banks' withholding of cash and the difficulties with Bradford & Bingley, which funded housing associations, the slack has had to be taken up by the Scottish Government, who have been funding as many new housing starts as is humanly possible. I find it extraordinary that, given the thousands of houses that have been contributed to by the Scottish Government, the hon. Lady or anyone else on the Labour Benches can talk about Labour's record, which, from memory, was not 6,000, 600 or 60, but six council houses being funded by that Scottish Government.
