§ Mr. Henderson Stewartasked the Secretary of State for Scotland, since the cost of building houses is substantially higher in Scotland than in England, will he consider increasing to £1,300 the maximum cost per house to be built by private enterprise.
§ Mr. BuchananAs at present advised I do not consider that current costs of house building in Scotland necessitate an increase in the limit of £1,200, but I shall, of course, be ready to consider any evidence to the contrary which may be produced.
