HC Deb 26 November 1946 vol 430 c1398
27. Mr. Spence

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many Swedish houses it is expected will be completed in Aberdeenshire by the end of the year.

Mr. Buchanan

All of the 32 Swedish timber houses under construction in Aberdeen county are roofed over and at an advanced stage and everything possible is being done to ensure their completion by the end of the year.

Mr. Spence

Could the Minister give an assurance that the necessary fittings and materials needed to complete the houses will be forthcoming?

Mr. Buchanan

These considerations do not apply only to the Swedish houses in Aberdeenshire. I have a special report on Swedish houses not yet completed in Scotland, with a view to action being taken to speed up the supply of components, &c. This week we have in Scotland a representative from the Ministry of Supply arranging for extra deliveries for the Swedish houses in particular.
