HC Deb 16 November 1954 vol 533 cc23-4W
70. Mr. Woodburn

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware of the continuing concern in Scottish local authorities about the anomalies caused by the derating conditions of the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1929; and whether he will introduce legislation to increase the income of local authorities by modifications of the existing practice.

Mr. J. Stuart

I would refer the right hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Springburn (Mr. Forman) on 13th July last, to which I have nothing to add.
