HC Deb 20 December 1945 vol 417 c1695W
Mr. Hoy

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what progress he has made with regard to the reorganisation of the Scottish Special Housing Association.

Mr. Buchanan

Arrangements are being made to extend the scope of the Association's work and to develop a strong direct labour organisation. In view of these impending developments my right hon. Friend considers it essential that the Association should be reorganised under a full-time Chairman with experience of building industry technique and large scale production, and he is taking steps accordingly. My right hon. Friend desires to take this opportunity of expressing his appreciation of the valuable services rendered by Sir Garnet Wilson as part time Chairman during the preparatory stages of the Association's postwar work, and of the work of his fellow members on the Association as at present constituted.
