HC Deb 26 July 1926 vol 198 c1686
34. Sir A. SINCLAIR

asked the Secretary for Scotland if he will state what number of houses, under Government housing schemes, have been built for and occupied by agricultural labourers, and how many of such houses are intended to be built; and what amount of financial assistance has been and will be given by the Government for houses for agricultural labourers?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I regret that I have no information showing the occupations of persons residing in houses erected under the various State-assisted schemes. As regards the last part of the question, the Government hope shortly to introduce legislation dealing with rural housing.
