§ 6. Sir William Darlingasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many houses it is proposed to have built in the constituency of Edinburgh, South, during the current year by free enterprise, by the local authority and by the Scottish Special Housing Association, respectively.
Mr. McNeilThe Corporation and the Association expect to start 631 and 70 houses respectively in South Edinburgh this year. I understand that in the main private enterprise contractors are employed to carry through the work. In addition, six houses, licensed to be built to private account, are under construction, but I am unable to estimate how many additional licenses will be applied for and granted in the course of the year.
