Mr. GRAY

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland in how many cases has he exercised the default powers under the Housing Act, 1930?

Mr. W. ADAMSON

Following on a complaint in terms of paragraph (i) of Sub-section (1) of Section 37 of the Housing (Scotland) Act, 1630, the Department of Health for Scotland have caused a public local inquiry to be held in one burgh, and an Order has now been issued declaring the authority in question to be in default and directing them to submit proposals for the erection of houses.
