HC Deb 06 December 1927 vol 211 c1171
41. Mr. POTTS

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the total number of recorded dwelling-houses actually built and tenanted for the years 1914 to 1926, inclusive, for Scotland?

Sir J. GILMOUR

During the period in question the recorded number of houses erected in Scotland with State assistance was 52,936. No accurate record is available of the number of houses erected in Scotland during the same period without State assistance, but it is estimated that between 1919 and 1926, inclusive the number was approximately 10,415. I am unable to say whether all the houses built have been tenanted.
