Housing Contributions (Review)

Oral Answers to Questions — Scotland – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 11 March 1947.

Alert me about debates like this

Lieut.-Commander Clark Hutchison:

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether it is his intention, at an early date, to lay before Parliament a draft order or a report in accordance with Section 14 of the Housing (Financial Provisions) (Scotland) Act, 1946.

I am at present carrying out the review of contributions provided for in the Section referred to, and hope to arrange an early meeting with the associations of local authorities on the matter. I will announce the result of the review immediately a decision is reached.

Lieut.-Commander Hutchison:

Is that likely to be before the Easter Recess?

I cannot fix a date, but it will be as soon as possible.

Secretary of State

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
