HC Deb 26 January 1954 vol 522 cc1602-3
36. Mr. Forman

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is now in a position to give his decision on the re quest made to him by the Clyde Valley Planning and Redevelopment Committee that a new town be built at Cumbernauld, Stirlingshire, to deal with Glasgow's housing problem.

Commander Galbraith

No, Sir. The Clyde Valley Planning Advisory Committee is still considering the machinery it would wish to recommend for carrying out this and other developments which it may propose for dealing with Glasgow's overspill. Pending receipt of these recommendations, which we hope to have soon, my right hon. Friend has arranged for a technical examination of the Cumbernauld area to assess its suitability for the proposed development.
