HC Deb 07 April 1965 vol 710 c70W
52. Earl of Dalkeith

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he will announce new plans for accelerating the pace of slum clearance; and how many slums he expects to be demolished in the years 1965 and 1966.

Mr. Ross

I asked the local authorities on 8th December for their proposals and some have yet to reply. As soon as I have enough information I intend meeting the local authority associations to determine how best to accelerate slum clearance.
