HC Deb 01 August 1961 vol 645 c151W
67. Dr. Dickson Mabon

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland to what extent he expects public investment in housing in Scotland in 1962–63 will be affected by the recent decision of Her Majesty's Government regarding the economic situation.

Mr. Maclay

Unless Scottish authorities seek to go ahead faster with their housing operations than present indications suggest, I do not think there will be any need to hold them back. Nor do I expect that it will be necessary for the Scottish Special Housing Association or the New Towns Corporations to defer any major schemes on which they would otherwise have embarked.
