§ 34. Mr. McInnesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many municipal houses were built in Glasgow in 1954; and how many will be completed in 1959.
§ Mr. GalbraithGlasgow Corporation built 6,148 houses in 1954 and expects to complete about 2,450 in 1959. A further 1,500 houses will have become available in 1959 for Glasgow families in new towns and overspill reception areas.
§ Mr. McInnesIs the hon. Member aware that Glasgow has a waiting list of 130,000 applicants? This reveals a reduction of over 60 per cent. The reduction may be due to the shortage of sites, about which the Corporation advised the right hon. Gentleman not less than six years ago. What does he intend to do about the problem?
§ Mr. GalbraithWe intend to carry on with our existing programme.
