§ 36. Mr. LIVINGSTONEasked the Secretary for Scotland whether in view of the fact that the people of the Highlands and Islands generally are excluded from the benefits of the recent Housing Acts and are in urgent need of favourable facilities for the improvement of their housing conditions, he will take steps to set up a carefully-chosen Committee to inquire into this matter and report their recommendations to this House?
§ The SECRETARY for SCOTLAND (Sir John Gilmour)I cannot admit the first contention of the hon. Member and therefore do not see my way to agree to the suggestion in the latter part of the question. I am writing him personally on the matter and I should be pleased to discuss it with him.
