§ 10. Mr. Henderson Stewartasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has formed any estimate of the number of farm-workers' cottages on farms which may be replaced under the provisions of Part II of the Housing (Agricultural Population) (Scotland) B ill?
§ Mr. ElliotIt is difficult to form any close estimate of how many of the 33,500 farm workers' cottages will be replaced under Part II of the Bill until local authorities have surveyed the whole position in detail. On the information at present available, however, it would appear that the number of new cottages likely to be erected with assistance under Part II of the Bill in replacement of existing farm cottages might be put very roughly at 3,000.
