HC Deb 27 February 1958 vol 583 c53W
35. Mr. Bence

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what considerations he takes into account before giving his consent to any payments to the Scottish Special Housing Association; and what proposals he has for reviewing the present arrangements.

Mr. Simon

The answer to the first part of the Question is that my right hon. Friends the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Secretary of State for Scotland take into account the extent of the housing problem facing local housing authorities in Scotland, their financial capacity to deal with it, and the financial position of the Association itself. My right hon. Friend has no proposals for review in mind.
