asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is now in a position to make a further statement with regard to the steps to be taken to protect the increasing number of small shopkeepers in Glasgow who are being threatened with eviction from their premises, some because they will not purchase at a high price and the others because they will not agree to drastic increases in rent.
