52. Earl of Dalkeithasked 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. RossI 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.
