§ 34. Mr. Patrick Maitlandasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received in favour of including a block or blocks of flats in local authority housing schemes in urban areas.
Commander GalbraithNo such representations have been received, nor are 1031 any necessary. Blocks of flats are already included in local authority housing schemes in many areas.
§ Mr. MaitlandWould my hon. Friend bear in mind that in many cases local authorities in their housing schemes go in for buildings of two storeys, and that the addition of an extra storey would cut the encroachment on building land by some 50 per cent.?
