§ Mr. Rossasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware of the decision of Kilmarnock Town Council to increase substantially the rents of 160 houses in Bellevue housing scheme, Bonnyton, which were built under the Housing (Financial Provisions) (Scotland) Act, 1933; and whether he is satisfied that this decision is in accordance with Section 73 (3, a) of the Housing (Scotland) Act, 1950.
§ Mr. J. StuartThese increases are part of a general increase which the council have decided to make in the rents of their pre-war houses. I have no reason to think that the Council are not complying with the requirements of Section 73 of the Housing (Scotland) Act, 1950.
