HC Deb 02 February 1983 vol 36 c138W
24. Sir Hector Monro

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what discussions he has had with local authorities about making more ground available for house building.

Mr. Younger

My interest in this question has been indicated in formal steps I have taken in the context of structure plans, but I have not had discussions with particular authorities. I intend to issue a circular shortly to local authorities which, among other things, will emphasise the importance I attach to the need to provide adequate sites for the building of private houses.
