§ Mr. E. SIMONasked the Minister of Health how many private enterprise houses were in course of erection on 31st March last, with and without subsidy respectively; and what annual rate of building might be expected on this basis?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYThe following numbers of houses were in course of erection by private enterprise on the 31st March last:
Subsidy houses 20,222 Non-subsidy houses of all sizes (approximate) 36,750 Total 56,972 I do not think it is practicable to make any useful estimate of the annual rate of building based on these figures.
