83. Sir M. MACDONALDasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps, if any, can be taken to correct the great anomalies which occur in the rentals of the same class of house belonging to the local authority at Mallaig?
§ Mr. SKELTONThe anomalies referred to are due to the fact that houses have been built under different Acts with varying provisions as to the amount of rents to be charged. The Department of Health have, however, under consideration proposals made by the county council with a view to achieving uniformity in the rents, and I shall inform the hon. Member in due course of the result.
