HC Deb 16 April 1975 vol 890 c105W
45. Mr. Lambie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will ask Irvine Development Corporation to continue the present rent freeze for another year.

Mr. William Ross

No. I have asked Irvine Development Corporation and the other Scottish New Town Development Corporations to submit for my approval rents schemes for 1975–76 which take into account the provisions of the Housing Rents and Subsidies (Scotland) Bill which it is expected will come into operation on 16th May 1975.
