To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-29346 by Ms Margaret Curran on 30 September 2002, whether it will consider removing the 75% capital receipts clawback rule from local authority housing in light of its commitment to allow local authorities and their tenants to decide how best to secure investment in council housing. Following representations from COSLA I have agreed that COSLA and Executive officials should, on a no commitment basis, meet to discuss issues surrounding the use of capital receipts.
