HC Deb 12 June 1968 vol 766 c45W
54. Mr. Brewis

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many families in Glasgow are still living in homes which have not had their roof permanently repaired after suffering storm damage in the gale of 14th-15th January.

Dr. Dickson Mabon

Of the 29,000 roofs which were damaged over 7,000 have been permanently repaired. I am informed by Glasgow Corporation that a further 14,000 roofs of council houses have semi-permanent repairs fully adequate for the winter. The remaining 8,000 tenement roofs cover some 20,000 top-floor houses.
