HC Deb 01 May 1968 vol 763 cc206-7W
Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) what action he intends to take to permit the deferment of capital repayment to the loans pool and/or the capitalisation of interest payments in respect of land awaiting development and buildings in course of construction in the case of local authorities in Scotland with large current building programmes which are required to limit increases in the rents of council houses;

(2) what steps he intends to take to require local authorities in Scotland to adopt a uniform scheme of rent rebates;

(3) what steps he intends to take to ensure that local authorities in Scotland which are required to limit proposed increases in the rents of council houses do not suffer consequentially from loss of Exchequer contributions.

Mr. Ross

These matters will be discussed with the Scottish local authority associations.
