HC Deb 24 April 1951 vol 487 c48W
128. Mr. McGovern

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the date when he received the resolution of the Scottish Labour Party Conference urging that a Bill should be introduced in order to prevent the further sale of flats and all tenement occupied houses; the date on which he received a similar resolution from the Scottish Trades Union Congress; the number of resolutions received from other organisations urging action; and when he intends to introduce such a Bill.

Mr. McNeil

I received the resolution of the Scottish Labour Party Conference in October last year. I have not received such a resolution from the Scottish Trades Union Congress. Taking into account all Scottish organisations, some of them understandably not very large, I have received nine other submissions on this subject. I am not in a position to say when a Bill will be introduced.
