HC Deb 05 February 1952 vol 495 c110W
Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many local authorities in Scotland have asked his permission to sell to individuals, houses which were built for renting.

Mr. J. Stuart

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply today to the hon. Member for Central Ayrshire (Mr. Manuel).

Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many applications to buy houses at Merrylee have been received from tenants of existing houses belonging to the Corporation of Glasgow.

Mr. J. Stuart

Applications have not yet been invited; but the Corporation tell me that out of 1,031 inquiries which they have already received 77 have been from tenants of Corporation houses.
