HC Deb 20 February 1946 vol 419 cc269-70W
Mr. Bosson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many local authorities in Scotland had placed firm contracts for municipal house-building; and how many had placed no such contracts by 30th November, 31st December and 31st January respectively.

Mr. Buchanan:

I assume that the Question refers to contracts under which the prices are not subject to fluctuation because of variations in wages and the cost of materials Eight local authorities have placed such contracts to date, all before the 30th November, 1945.
