§ Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what complaints he has received from tenants of the Myton Clyde houses built by the Scottish Special Housing Association at New Cummock, Ayrshire; what inquiries he has made; and what steps are being taken to deal with the complaints.
Mr. McNeilI received complaints in February about water penetration in these houses. I found on inquiry that the Scottish Special Housing Association had received earlier complaints and had asked the contractors to try out a number of different remedies. Several experiments were unsuccessful, but one at present being tried holds out prospects of success.
