HC Deb 19 July 1927 vol 209 c210
18 and 19. Mr. STEPHEN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) the number of houses at present under construction under the slum clearance schemes in Glasgow, the number expected to be completed by the end of the year, and the average rent of those houses, including rates, and

(2) What steps have been taken by the Glasgow local authority, in accordance with their statutory powers, to require the owners to make habitable the 1,300 houses in the Camlachie Parliamentary Division of Glasgow, which have been declared by the sanitary authority as unfit for human habitation, until new houses can be provided for the people concerned?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I am endeavouring to ascertain the information desired by the hon. Member in these questions, and I shall communicate with him after the inquiries which are now being made have been completed.

Mr. STEPHEN

Will the right hon. Gentleman be able to give me an answer if I put it down for this day week?

Sir J. GILMOUR

Yes, Sir.
