§ 56. Mr. BUCHANANasked the Secretary of State for Scotland the number of single apartment houses and two apartment houses which have been built in Scotland since December, 1919?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Sir John Gilmour)Reliable statistics are available only as regards the number of subsidised houses built in Scotland during the period mentioned. I am informed that from 31st December, 1919, to 30th June last, no single apartment houses were built with the aid of subsidy. During the same period, 3,958 two apartment houses with scullery, bathroom and other conveniences were built with the aid of subsidy. From returns made to the Board of Health by local authorities it appears that during the period in question the erection of 23 single apartment houses was consented to by the local authorities in terms of Subsection 1 of Section 44 of the Housing, Town Planning, etc. (Scotland) Act, 1919, as continued by Section 111 of the Housing (Scotland) Act, 1925.
