Mr. CLARK HUTCHISON (by Private Notice)asked the Under-Secretary for Health for Scotland whether he is yet in a position to state the decision of the Government with regard to the amount of the subsidy per house to be paid in Scotland?
§ Mr. F. C. THOMSON (Lord of the Treasury)The Government after full consideration of all the circumstances have decided that it is not practicable to differentiate the conditions of subsidy in the two countries and accordingly the same conditions will apply in Scotland and in England.
§ Major BARNETTDoes not even £6 a year represent a very large number of bawbees?
§ Mr. MILLARIs it not the fact that a strong case has been made out for a. larger subsidy in Scotland, in view of the higher cost of building, owing to the stringer roofs and higher walls. and to the fact that stone is much more employed in Scotland?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThat is a matter for argument when the Bill comes up.
