HC Deb 30 March 1926 vol 193 c1824
27. Mr. HARDIE

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, when the houses at present being built in Gaingad are completed, they are to be let only to residents in present congested areas; who will control the letting; what the rents are to be; and whether collected weekly, monthly, or yearly?

Sir J. GILMOUR

The reply to the first part of the question is in the negative. The Second Scottish National Housing Company (Housing Trust), Limited, will control the letting of the houses. With regard to the last two parts of the question, I am making it quiry, but I am not yet in a position to make a statement.

Mr. KIRKWOOD

Is it the case, as stated in the Glasgow "Forward," that the Government have paid £3,125 for the land on which these houses are to be built, and that the landowners only pay £1 a year to the assessors in the City of Glasgow?

Mr. SPEAKER

That question has been answered.
