HC Deb 20 November 1968 vol 773 cc282-3W
Mr. John Robertson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many housing authorities did not build a house in 1967; and if he will publish a list of such authorities.

Mr. Ross

Although 74 local authorities completed no houses during 1967, there were only four local authority areas—the small burghs of Inverary, Kilrenny and Anstruther, Lauder and Leslie—in which no housebuilding took place. In the remaining 70 areas the local authorities had houses under construction on their own account, or houses were being built for private owners. Full details are given in the Housing Return for Scotland, 31st December, 1967, published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office.
