HC Deb 09 November 1964 vol 701 cc24-5W
Mr. Edward M. Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when, and in what terms, an approach was made by his Department to the Corporation of Glasgow regarding the operation of their letting regulations for municipal houses; and what information he has received from the corporation on the question since then.

Mr. Ross

In December, 1963, my Department asked Glasgow Corporation for comments on representations made to my predecessor about the allocation of its houses. The Corporation replied that a special sub-committee had been appointed by the Property Management Committee to re-appraise its letting regulations. On 22nd January, 1964, my Department explained to the Corporation that my predecessor would be glad to be informed in due course of the conclusions reached by it in the light of the sub-committee's report. I understand that this report has not yet been completed.
