HC Deb 18 February 1970 vol 796 c117W
42. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the house-building programme for the next five years.

Dr. Dickson Mabon

We aim to continue the high level of public sector building attained in recent years, and we will give all possible encouragement to the building of new private houses. In addition, we are intensifying our efforts to have older houses improved.
