The Scottish Liberal Democrats have called for a national register of buildings with reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) as they press the Government for an update on the number of council houses affected.
Earlier this week, it was decided that more than 500 homes in Aberdeen affected by the collapse-risk concrete would have to be torn down.
Residents of an estimated 366 council homes in the Balnagask area will be rehomed and will have a say in where they are placed. A further 138 private properties in the area will also be demolished, with the city council aiming to purchase these by voluntary agreement to allow the owners to move.
Independent surveyors found demolition was the best option to remove the high-risk lightweight concrete.
Lib Dem leader Alex Cole-Hamilton said RAAC has also been found in council houses in Angus, Clackmannanshire, Dundee, North Lanarkshire, Stirling, South Lanarkshire, Edinburgh and West Lothian.
Its presence has also been detected in a number of public sector buildings like schools, hospitals and police stations.
