§ Mr. Eadieasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what advice he has given about domestic coal heating in the county of Midlothian to the Scottish Special Housing Association.
§ Mr. RossI have given no special advice relating to Midlothian. The choice of the form of heating in new houses built by public housing authorities is a matter for each authority, subject to the appropriate minimum standards being satisfied and, in the case of coal-fired heating appliances, to their being capable of burning smokeless fuels.
