§ 5. Mr. Patrick Maitlandasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many of the 3,000 Weir timber houses already ordered have been built; and what further orders will be placed.
Commander GalbraithAt 31st October, 618 had been completed and 1,080 more were under construction. I am not in a position to make any statement about a further programme.
§ Mr. MaitlandCan my right hon. and gallant Friend say whether he is now fully satisfied with the quality of these houses and, if he is, will he consider arranging to obtain more of them?
Commander GalbraithI am satisfied about the quality of the houses which have been built. I am waiting to see what kind of timber comes forward for any remaining houses.
