Sir A. SINCLAIR

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the amount of the rateborne subsidy per house in respect of each scheme for the construction of houses under the Housing (Financial Provisions) (Scotland) Act, 1933, with the help of the £3 subsidy and the number of such schemes approved since the commencement of the Act?

Sir G. COLLINS

The amount of the rate-borne subsidy per house in the 20 schemes so far approved under Section 1 of the Housing (Financial Provision's) (Scotland) Act, 1933, cannot be ascertained until the schemes have been completed and the final all-in costs of the houses determined. None of the schemes has yet been completed. I am, however, sending the right hon. and gallant Gentleman a list showing in the case of each approved scheme the rate-borne subsidy per house estimated as accurately as may be on the available data.
