HC Deb 25 June 1957 vol 572 cc14-5W
74. Mr. Steele

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland on what date approval was given to the County Council of Dunbartonshire for the purchase of a site at Tarbet for the erection of houses; and, in view of this approval, why he has not so far agreed to the building of those houses.

Mr. Maclay

Authority was given to the county council in 1951 to buy the Manse site as a playing field. A decision on the use of part of the site for housing was deferred pending submission of specific proposals. These have recently been received and are being discussed with the county council.
