Captain ERSKINE-BOLST

asked the Minister of Health the average estimated construction price of working-class dwellings which have been, commenced by local authorities since the announcement that the subsidy would be no longer forthcoming?

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

I regret that information in the form desired by my hon. Friend is not available, but the average building cost of State-assisted non-parlour houses included in contracts let and in direct labour schemes commenced by local authorities in England and Wales during the month of December last was £296. The corresponding cost for January is not yet available.
