HC Deb 07 July 1938 vol 338 c595
66. Sir J. Haslam (for Mr. Chorlton)

asked the Minister of Health the total of new houses completed up to the end of March this year in the borough of Bury, Lancashire, and how many will be completed by the end of this year, with the estimated number to meet the requirements of the locality?

Mr. Elliot

By the end of March last 2,110 houses were completed by the town council and 2,950 by private enterprise, making 5,060 in all. I have no information how many houses are likely to be completed by the end of this year by private enterprise. I have approved 480 houses for construction by the town council and I understand that 400 of these are likely to be finished this year. I regret that I have no information relating to the last part of the question.
