HC Deb 11 March 1924 vol 170 c2132
83. Mr. CLARKE

asked the Under-Secretary to the Scottish Board of Health if he is aware that certain municipal authorities have decided to proceed with a housing scheme which includes a number of two-apartment houses, despite the fact that approximately there are 50 per cent. of one- and two-roomed houses in the burghs; and what action does he propose to take in order to enforce a minimum standard of three-apartment houses?

Mr. ADAMSON

I am aware that certain municipal authorities propose to proceed with a housing scheme which includes a number of two-apartment houses. As regards the latter part of the question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave him on 6th instant showing that the number of two-apartment houses in any municipal scheme will be restricted to a maximum of 25 per cent.
