HC Deb 26 October 1954 vol 531 c1742
24. Mr. Forman

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what extra financial provisions he is prepared to make to cover loss to Glasgow Corporation of £1 million per year owing to derating.

Commander Galbraith

I would refer the hon. Member to the replies to his questions of 13th July last, to which I cannot add at present.

Mr. Forman

Is the right hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that, in answer to a recent question, he referred to the fact that the Secretary of State was awaiting the Report of the Sorn Committee and that once he had received that Report he would be able to give a decision on this question?

Commander Galbraith

Surely the hon. Member realises that it takes some little time to assimilate all that is in that Report.
