HC Deb 17 December 1969 vol 793 cc328-9W
Mr. Buchanan-Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many houses, and in which local authority areas, are of the steel frame type built in the 1940s and are now giving rise to concern on account of deterioration in condition; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ross

In the 1940s about 20,000 steel frame houses were built in various parts of Scotland. I have received representations about the condition of some 225 of them, in Ayrshire and Fife.
