§ 23. Mr. Patrick Maitlandasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how an error arose in compilation of the Housing Return for Scotland, 31st March, 1952, which caused Table IV, page 6, to record housing completions by New Towns Development Corporation at 31st March last as 399, while the corresponding figures in Appendix B, page 23, column 8, add up to 391; and whether any particular housing return was itself in error.
§ Mr. J. StuartThe discrepancy occurred because an earlier figure for houses completed by East Kilbride Development Corporation was corrected on page 23 but not on page 6. The discrepancy was not caused by an incorrect report from the Corporation.
