§ Lieut.-Colonel HORLICKasked the Secretary of State for Scotland the number of houses rated at £26 a year and under that were completed during the last financial year without any assistance from public funds; and whether any estimate has been made as to the number completed since 1st April of this year?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI regret that the information desired is not available. According to returns received by the Scottish Board of Health the number of houses containing five apartments and less completed during 1925 without any assistance from public funds was 1,236. If this figure is taken as the approximate annual number of such houses, the number completed since 1st April last would be about 400.
