HC Deb 31 January 1968 vol 757 c313W
Mr. Hugh D. Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) what progress has been made in implementing the recommendations of the sub-committee of the Scottish Housing Advisory Committee as outlined in the report, Housing Management in Scotland;

(2) what action has been taken to identify local authorities who have failed to accord importance and priority to housing management affairs, in accordance with the recommendation of the Scottish Housing Advisory Committee;

(3) what action has been taken to re-establish within the Scottish Development Department the post of Adviser in Housing Management.

Dr. Dickson Mahon

My right hon. Friend is awaiting the comments of the Scottish Housing Advisory Committee, the local authorities and other interested bodies on the sub-committee's report on Housing Management and in the meantime it would be premature for him to comment on the sub-committee's recommendations.
