HC Deb 29 April 1952 vol 499 cc1222-3
34. Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has for houses designed for old people in the crofting districts.

Commander Galbraith

The Scottish Housing Advisory Committee's Report on "The Housing of Special Groups," copies of which were sent to Scottish local authorities on 9th April, gives detailed guidance about houses for older people and specimen plans, including plans which could be adopted in crofting districts.

Mr. Grimond

Is the hon. and gallant Gentleman satisfied that this could be effectively adopted in crofter districts, because it is the particular difficulties of crofting to which I want to draw attention?

Commander Galbraith

Yes, Sir.
