6. Mrs. Mann

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has considered the joint memorandum on housing subsidies from the Convention of Royal Burghs, the Association of County Councils and the Counties of Cities Association; and what action he proposes to take thereanent.

Mr. J. N. Browne

My right hon. Friend has not yet received the memorandum from the local authority associations.

Mrs. Mann

Will the hon. Gentleman ask his right hon. Friend, when he receives that memorandum, to refuse to give it sympathetic consideration but to act upon it instead?

Mr. Browne

I do not think that I can make any comment on the memorandum until it is received.
