HC Deb 28 July 1926 vol 198 cc2106-7
57. Mr. BUCHANAN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the length of time which has been taken to erect steel houses under the extra grant for Scotland; and how that time compares with the ordinary type of house?

Sir J. GILMOUR

As the contracts for the steel houses in question are still in their early stages, I am unable to state the length of time taken to erect the houses or to compare their rate of erection with that of the ordinary type of house. The first block of steel houses was commenced at mid-March and was completed at mid-May.
