Mr. McGovern

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he can give the date when the Second Scottish National Housing Company considered the question of reducing the rents of steel houses in Sandyhills Scheme at Shettleston; what decision was arrived at; and if he is aware that two reductions have taken place in houses of a similar size owned by Glasgow Corporation?

Mr. Wedderburn

In accordance with the promise which he gave to the hon. Member in answer to a question on 12th July last, my right hon. Friend brought to the notice of the company the reduction in the rents of Glasgow Corporation houses. My right hon. Friend is informed that the company have not yet come to any decision as to a revision of the rents of their Sandyhills houses and he will again bring the matter to their notice.
