HC Deb 31 May 1927 vol 207 cc195-6
21. Mr. STEPHEN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the amount of subsidy spent in Glasgow and Scotland, respectively, on account of housing schemes under the various Housing Acts since 1918?

Sir J. GILMOUR

The amounts of Exchequer subsidy paid in Glasgow and Scotland, respectively, under the various Housing Acts since 1918 to March last are £894,463 and £5,654,464.

Mr. MAXTON

Does that include the total cost of steel houses and the money advanced to the Scottish Housing Company?

Sir J. GILMOUR

It includes all Exchequer subsidies.

Captain STREATFEILD

How much of that sum was expended upon housing in the rural areas in Scotland?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I could not answer without notice.

Mr. STEPHEN

Could the right hon. Gentleman give us the figures separately under each of the Acts?

Sir J. GILMOUR

If the hon. Member puts down another question I may be able to get that information.
