§ 79. Mr. Dempseyasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many council and Scottish Special Housing Association-owned houses have been damaged by fire in the last 10 years; what was the cost of the damage; and how many persons were killed and injured.
§ Mr. NobleI regret that no figures are available for council houses. The Scottish Special Housing Association has informed me that in the 10 years ending 31st March, 1964, 800 of its houses were damaged by fire, the estimated cost of the damage was £77,600, and 16 persons were killed and 8 seriously injured.
