HC Deb 01 December 1971 vol 827 c98W
40. Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what recommendation he received from the findings of the Rent Inquiry into the rents of Coatbridge town council houses as to who should be responsible for the payment of the costs, and what was the amount involved.

Mr. Younger

The Reporter made no definite recommendation as to expenses, but said that the Secretary of State was wholly justified in ordering the inquiry to take place when he did and that all other considerations relevant to the question of expenses were set out in his report. I do not yet know the amount involved.
