HC Deb 09 February 1970 vol 795 c277W
Mr. Buchanan-Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much grant has been paid to local authorities in Scotland under the Small Dwellings Act in each of the past five years.

Mr. Ross

The Small Dwellings (Acquisition) (Scotland) Acts, 1899 to 1923, empower local authorities to advance money for house purchase. Grants are not payable to local authorities under them.
