§ Major GLYNasked the Secretary for Scotland whether the Institute of Scottish Architects have been asked to report by any specific date, as a result of consultation with the Local Government Board for Scotland, concerning the scale of fees to be paid to architects engaged by local authorities to draw up details of housing schemes; whether it will be at once possible for the Institute of Scottish Architects to intimate to local auhorities the average remuneration that architects should be paid according to the work of 2564W each district; and whether there are several applications by different local authorities now before the Local Government Board in Scotland demanding a decision on this question to which no reply has been made?
§ Mr. MUNROThe position in regard to architects' fees is as stated in my reply of 3rd April. The Local Government Board for Scotland have received inquiries as to what scale of architects' fees they would approve. When the Board have had the meeting with the Institute of Scottish Architects which was referred to in my previous reply, they hope to issue a Circular to local authorities on the subject.
