Owner-Occupied Houses (Roads and Pavements)

HC Deb 10 November 1969 vol 791 cc24-5W

Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will seek to amend the law to ensure that local authorities have statutory powers to provide owner-occupiers of houses with roads and pavements at the expense of local authorities; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ross

The law on this matter is being examined at present to see whether changes are necessary.
