asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many houses are to be proceeded with in the Borrowfield housing scheme in the Camlachie Parliamentary Division of Glasgow; and when these houses are likely to be ready for occupation, in view of the housing conditions in this part of the city?

I am informed that 248 houses are now to be further proceeded with at Borrowfield. In present circumstances it is not possible to say when these houses will be ready for occupation, but I am assured that every effort will be made to have them completed at the earliest possible date.
