To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will review the level of housing association grants provided to housing associations in the Scottish Borders.

In the current year we will provide £502 million of funding through the Affordable Housing Investment programme to support affordable housing projects across Scotland.

Our affordable housing investment in the Scottish Borders in the current year stands at an all time high of £7 million.

These investment levels are good news for Scotland and especially good news for the Scottish Borders.
