§ Mr. McInnesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he can give the period taken to complete 670 Lawrence houses at Milton Site, Glasgow; the average number of bricklayers employed; the principal components of wall construction used; and how far this scheme represents a post-war record in permanent non-traditional house building in Scotland.
§ Mr. J. StuartI am informed that these houses, in which the external walling is of pre-cast concrete hollow blocks, were begun in mid-August, 1950, and completed by the end of June, 1952. Too many variable factors are involved to permit of accurate comparisons between building times. I have no information as to the average number of bricklayers employed.
