§ Mr. R. Gibsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has considered the questions of the reconditioning of house property considered as suitable by the local authority concerned, and of taking steps to introduce legislation for the granting of a subsidy for this purpose; and whether he has any statement to make in connection therewith?
Mr. Wedderburn:As stated in reply to a question by the hon. Member for Linlithgow (Mr. Mathers) on 5th April, my right hon. Friend will be glad to consider any representations on this subject which local authorities may make during the forthcoming negotiations with regard to the revision of housing subsidies.
