HC Deb 21 March 1923 vol 161 c2552
73. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Minister of Health whether he can state the number of houses which have been erected by private enterprise or for which the plans have been approved by the local authorities during the past six months?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The information is not at present available, but I have asked local authorities to furnish me with a return on the subject.

76. Mr. R. RICHARDSON

asked the Minister of Health whether he will furnish a return showing, as nearly as can be estimated, the total number of houses built in the United Kingdom during each year from 1913 to 1922, inclusive?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The available information does not enable me to furnish such a return as is requested. But according to the Census of 1921 it appears that the number of structurally separate dwellings increased by 357,000 in England and Wales between 1911 and 1921.
