§ Mr. Gordon Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether governmental financial assistance has been given to local authorities in Scotland in cases where public buildings have been affected by structural and material defects first experienced in Camden in June 1973 and Stepney in February 1974; and if he will publish the sums so paid.
§ Mr. William RossNo specific grant assistance has been given. Expenditure incurred by local authorities generally, apart from any sums which may be recovered from those involved in the design or construction of the buildings, will be assisted through the rate support grant.
