HC Deb 12 May 1966 vol 728 cc121-2W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is satisfied with the progress being made in the clearance of derelict sites, especially in areas experiencing coalmine closures; and if he will give the latest statistical information showing the progress made in the last three years in Scotland.

Mr. Ross

Steady progress has been made in the last few years but a great deal needs doing and I should like to see schemes coming forward more quickly. The information requested is as follows:
