asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many Swedish wooden houses have been allotted to Scotland; whether additional supplies are likely to be available when the present quota is exhausted; and whether individuals who are willing to bear the whole cost of erecting such houses for occupation by themselves will have an opportunity of buying them.
