asked the Secretary of State for Scotland on what precise date the first 45 houses in the scheme of 270 at Livingston Station will now be ready for occupation.
Mr Gordon Campbell
, Moray and Nairnshire
I understand that the first 45 houses may not now be completed until August of this year. A precise date cannot be given.
Mr Tam Dalyell

Why was a different Answer given on 20th November?
Mr Gordon Campbell
, Moray and Nairnshire
This programme was delayed for two reasons; firstly, the ban on overtime in the building industry and, secondly, the exceptionally wet weather in November which severely handicapped earth-moving equipment. Efforts are being made to catch up on lost time.
Mr Tam Dalyell
, West Lothian
Was not the wet weather in November known on 20th November?
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.
