HC Deb 09 May 1934 vol 289 cc1084-5
34. Mr. D. GRAHAM

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the number of houses built in the administrative county of Lanark since 1918; the numbers built in each of the burghs, separately, giving the numbers built for sale; and the numbers built for letting in each of the administrative areas?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Mr. Skelton)

As the answer to the first two parts of the question involves a tabular statement, I propose, with the hon. Member's permission, to circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT. As regards the last part, I regret that information as to the numbers of houses built for sale and letting respectively is not available.

Following is the table :
