HC Deb 03 February 1971 vol 810 c369W
Mr. Oswald

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many families in Edinburgh have been rehoused from slum dwellings during 1970; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

About 900 houses were closed or demolished in Edinburgh in the first nine months of 1970: figures for the last quarter are not yet available. The number of families rehoused is a different figure, which the hon. Member could no doubt obtain from Edinburgh Corporation.
