HC Deb 10 March 1969 vol 779 c231W
Mr. Doig

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware that building firms which tender regularly for building houses which are subject to approval by his Department are paying high dividends; and if he will pay special attention to tender prices, in view of the high cost of houses in Scotland by comparison with other areas.

Mr. Ross

The system for controlling centrally the cost of subsidised housing ensures that only reasonable tender prices are accepted in the public sector.
