§ Mr. LIVINGSTONEasked the Secretary for Scotland whether it is his intention to make any concessions whereby those who were otherwise qualified to participate in the crofters' housing subsidy scheme, but whose building operations were not completed before the 23rd October, 1923, through stress of weather and other circumstances over which they had no control, will still be entitled to payment of the full subsidy?
Mr. ADAMSONThe last date for the completion of houses under the scheme referred to was fixed by Statute at 23rd October, 1923. I regret that I have no authority to grant any extension beyond that date.
