HC Deb 14 April 1919 vol 114 c2564W
Major GLYN

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether he is aware of the effect of the continued delay in issuing a simplified series of regulations regarding town planning in accordance with the principles of the Housing and Town Planning Bill for Scotland on an early settlement of the housing problem; and whether he will explain why local authorities are confined to submitting schemes in anticipation of this year's legislation based upon the Regulations of 1909?

Mr. MUNRO

I am not aware that an early settlement of the housing problem in Scotland is being delayed pending the issue of a simplified series of regulations regarding town planning. As regards schemes of town planning, these must meantime be submitted in accordance with the Regulations of 1911. I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to my reply of 3rd April, and to the terms of the Scottish Housing and Town Planning Bill now before Parliament.
