§ Sir J. Gilmourasked the Secretary of State for Scotland to what extent it is the practice of the Glenrothes Development Corporation to ensure that their main building contractors enter into a bond of caution after being awarded a contract by the Corporation.
§ Mr. RossIt is not the Glenrothes Development Corporation's practice to require its main building contractors to enter into a bond of caution. The Corporation adopts the more usual practice based on the 1954 Regulations and general conditions of contract for building works in Scotland of retaining a percentage of the moneys due to the main contractor for some time after the contract is completed.
