§ Mr. Stephenasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many houses have been completed in the Barrowfield scheme of housing in the Camlachie Parliamentary Division of Glasgow; and 1248W whether he will take steps to expedite the carrying out of the housing scheme in view of the bad housing conditions in this part of Glasgow?
§ Mr. ColvilleI am informed that none of these houses has been completed. With regard to the second part of the question, I understand that 248 houses in this scheme are under construction, but that at present some difficulty is being experienced in obtaining materials. The Corporation assure me that they are making every endeavour to complete these houses as quickly as possible.
