HC Deb 27 November 1963 vol 685 cc65-6W
49. Mr. Lawson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what additional financial assistance is to be given to local authorities in the Central Scotland growth point areas so as to enable them to increase the house building rate in those areas from the present rate of 2,000 per annum to the 9,000 per annum promised in the recent White Paper, Command Paper No. 2188.

Mr. Noble

As stated in paragraph 25 of the White Paper, provision of houses to support industrial development in the growth areas will be largely undertaken by the new towns and the Scottish Special Housing Association.
