§ 27. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Minister of Labour if he is satisfied that the building labour force in Scotland is sufficient for the building of the married quarters programme without interfering with the housing programme of the local authorities.
§ Mr. HughesIs the Minister aware that there is considerable disquiet among local authorities in Scotland about the slow progress on married quarters for miners? What steps have been taken to see that there will be an increase of building labour to meet this demand and other demands?
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsI thought the Question on the Order Paper was directed to married quarters for persons in the Forces and, as far as that programme is concerned, no delay has occurred in the local authorities' housing schemes because of the building of married quarters.
