I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland, in view of the fact that under Clause 6 of the Small Landowners (Scotland) Bill, now before Parliament, it is proposed to enable the Congested Districts Board to improve or rebuild dwelling-houses and other buildings in congested districts, will he consider the expediency of arranging for the Board to be provided with additional funds so as to enable the Board to put into effect any such new powers.

If it is found by experience that the monies provided are not sufficient for their purpose and should be increased, the matter shall certainly be considered.
