66. Mr. G. MURRAY

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether he will state in detail what progress has been made under the Housing Acts in Glasgow up to date?

The LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. Clyde)

Up to date in the case of Glasgow the Scottish Board of Health have approved 21 sites of approximately 1,550 acres; lay-out plans for 8 sites accommodating 4,000 houses; and 30 different type plans which have up to the present been applied to 3,880 houses on S particular sites. Tenders for 1,243 houses have been approved and those for an additional 720 will be disposed of this week. 933 houses are now under construction at the Kennyhill, Gilslochill and Coplawhill sites. In addition, 152 temporary wooden houses, out of a total of 500 which it is proposed to erect, are now under construction,

Mr. MURRAY

Is it proposed to extend the scheme of wooden houses in Glasgow?

Mr. CLYDE

I am afraid, in the absence of my right hon. Friend, I must ask for notice.
