HC Deb 06 November 1969 vol 790 cc174-5W
Mr. Edward M. Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why he has instructed the Scottish Special Housing Association not to build any more houses in Glasgow ; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ross

Since the beginning of 1966 the association's programme has been directed to housing for economic growth and for Glasgow overspill.

The association has made a massive contribution towards solving Glasgow Corporation's problems by building over 10,000 houses within the city and over 5,000 for Glasgow people in overspill areas. Further very substantial help from the association, at Erskine, has been offered to the corporation.
