asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when it is proposed to introduce legislation to give effect to the recommendations of the Central Housing Advisory Committee in respect of rural housing in Scotland.
Mr George Buchanan
, Glasgow Gorbals
The report of the Central Housing Advisory Committee on rural housing is applicable to England and Wales only. The report by the Scottish Housing Advisory Committee on the modernisation of houses in both urban and rural areas in Scotland is in the Press, and I will make a statement when it is published, which I hope will be possible in April.
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.
