HC Deb 23 February 1972 vol 831 cc302-3W
Mr. Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received from local authorities regarding difficulties in obtaining tenders from building contractors for the construction of small numbers of houses; and what action he will take to enable local authorities to build houses in small numbers.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

None, although many of the housing proposals put to me by local authorities are for small developments. If the hon. Member knows of any particular difficulty, perhaps he would write to me.
