asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that the Glasgow corporation received certain grants of subsidies to build slum-clearance properties in the Glasgow area, and that in certain cases these properties were let as intermediate houses and much higher rents charged than was intended; and whether he will inquire into this matter with a view to seeing that grants are only used for the purpose that they were intended for?

I am not aware that any subsidised slum-clearance houses in Glasgow have been let as is stated by the hon. Member, but if he will furnish me with particulars of the cases he has in mind I shall have inquiry made.

I will furnish the hon. Gentleman with details of the cases I have in mind.
