§ Mr. Dempseyasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many local authorities make provision for the housing of retired police officers who 20W have given the full period of compulsory service; and how many local authorities make no provision for the housing of such retired police officers.
§ Mr. MaclayI regret that the information requested is not available. Local housing authorities deal with applications from ex-policemen, as from all others, on the basis of relative housing need, and the allocation of council houses is entirely a matter for those authorities.
