Firm Foundations: The Future of Housing in Scotland
31/10/07
Scotland already has a self-financing system – but this doesn’t mean council housing is adequately funded. Historic debt needs to be written off in Scotland too! We mustn't let politcians get away with increasing resources in England and Wales but not in Scotland.

"Tenants in Scotland reject the policy of trying to get rid of council housing…tenants and councils alike want the unfair burden of housing debt to be written off by the Treasury."
John Carracher, Convenor, Scottish Tenants Organisation
