§ 13. Mr. Gibson-Wattasked the Secretary of State for Wales how many houses he estimates will be built in Wales in 1968.
§ Mr. Ifor DaviesMy right hon. Friend expects that between 19,000 and 20,000 will be completed during the year.
§ Mr. Gibson-WattWhat reasons can the hon. Gentleman give for the fall in public authority building in Wales?
§ Mr. DaviesThe fall is only slight at the moment, and it is, possibly, due to the economic difficulties and to certain restrictions. Despite this, I can very safely predict that the total completions again this year will be far higher than in any year under a Tory Government.
