HC Deb 29 October 1912 vol 43 c264W
Mr. MUNRO-FERGUSON

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether, in view of the difficulty that attends the closing of insanitary houses in burghs, he is satisfied that, by the terms of its reference, the Housing Committee will feel it as incumbent on them to inquire into urban cheap housing as into that of certain specified classes in the landward districts?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

Yes, I am quite satisfied that the reference to the Royal Commission on Housing includes inquiry into urban housing and into rural housing, not only of certain specified classes, but generally.
