2. Lieut.-Commander Clark Hutchisonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will now announce the date of publication of the Report of the Scottish Housing Advisory Committee on reconditioning.
§ Mr. WestwoodIt is hoped to publish the Scottish Housing Advisory Committee's Report on "Modernising our Homes" on 15th April.
§ Mr. J. S. C. ReidCan the right hon. Gentleman tell the House how long this Report has been printing—how long it is since it was sent to the printer?
§ Mr. WestwoodIt is a fairly long time since it was sent to the printer, but there have been certain difficulties. There happened to be a Command Paper ahead of this, and that put difficulties in the way of my getting this Report printed as early as I should have liked.
§ Mr. WestwoodNo, Sir. They handle more than one paper at a time, and no one knows that better than the right hon. and learned Gentleman.
§ Colonel Gomme-DuncanCould it not have been printed in Scotland?
§ Mr. WestwoodI have a faint suspicion that it was.
