§ 2. Mr. Spenceasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many Swedish houses are under construction and roofed in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire but cannot be completed for lack of fittings; and how many have been completed.
§ The Joint Under-Secretary of State for Scotland (Mr. Buchanan)In Aberdeen, four Swedish timber houses are completed and 92 are under construction. In Aberdeen County, 32 houses are under construction. All of the houses under construction are roofed and components are now available for the houses as and when required.
§ Mr. SpenceCan the Minister give an assurance that, within a reasonably short time, these houses in Aberdeenshire will be completed?
§ Mr. BuchananI am hopeful that almost all of them will be completed this side of the New Year.
