§ 8. Mr. Willisasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware that the number of loans advanced under the Small Dwellings Acquisition (Scotland) Acts for the period 1st January, 1939, to 31st December, 1947, was only 50; and whether he will take steps to encourage and increase the use of these facilities.
§ Mr. WoodburnYes, Sir. I hope that the publicity given to my hon. Friend's Question will encourage local authorities to make use of their powers under these Acts.
§ Mr. WillisWould my right hon. Friend also look into the question of the limits under these Acts, because they seem to be rather out of date in view of the present high cost of building?
§ Mr. WoodburnYes, Sir.
