HC Deb 31 January 1918 vol 101 c1741
63. Mr. WATT

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether he will give figures, similar to those already given for England and Wales by the English Local Government Board, showing the number of houses which local authorities in Scotland are willing to build at the end of the War, provided the financial assistance promised by the Government is satisfactory?

Mr. MUNRO

From the return made by 297 local authorities out of 311 from whom information was asked, it appears that the total number of houses that local authorities in Scotland indicate their willingness to build on the condition specified in the question is nearly 99,000.
