HC Deb 11 March 1952 vol 497 cc131-2W
75. Mr. Hoy

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware of the dissatisfaction expressed by the Association of County Councils in Scotland, the Scottish Counties of Cities Association, and the Convention of Royal Burghs regarding the new housing subsidies; and if it is his intention to have further negotiations with them on the matter.

Mr. J. Stuart

The three associations have asked to see me and I hope to arrange an early meeting. I cannot, however, hold out any hope of an advance on the substantial increases in subsidy which I have already announced.
