asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the reasons why the Housing Advisory Committee has not met since July, 1945.
Mr Joseph Westwood
, Stirling and Falkirk District of Burghs
Since July, 1945, the Scottish Housing Advisory Committee has met on three occasions, namely. in December, 1945, March, 1946, and July, 1946, and has submitted three important reports, the last of which was published in April of this year. I hope to avail myself of the Committee's services on further inquiries as occasion arises.

Can the right hon. Gentleman say why there has not been a meeting of the Zonal Conference recently?
Mr Joseph Westwood

Not without notice.
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.
