HC Deb 03 July 1935 vol 303 c1858
46. Mr. McGOVERN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that the Glasgow corporation received certain grants of subsidies to build slum-clearance properties in the Glasgow area, and that in certain cases these properties were let as intermediate houses and much higher rents charged than was intended; and whether he will inquire into this matter with a view to seeing that grants are only used for the purpose that they were intended for?

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

I am not aware that any subsidised slum-clearance houses in Glasgow have been let as is stated by the hon. Member, but if he will furnish me with particulars of the cases he has in mind I shall have inquiry made.

Mr. McGOVERN

I will furnish the hon. Gentleman with details of the cases I have in mind.
