§ Mr. Oswaldasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware of the slow rate of house building in the City of Edinburgh; and what action he is taking to find out the reasons for the delay.
§ Mr. J. StuartI am aware that Edinburgh's housing programme has been delayed largely because of lack of sites and shortage of labour. The corporation have now overcome these difficulties, and I hope that output will be substantially improved next year.
