Year. Number of new houses let.* Slum clearance. Intermediate. Ordinary. Total. 1935 2,779 519 418 3,716 1936 (to 30th November) 1,112 661 351 2,124

The reason for this is that many houses completed in December, 1935, were not let until the following January. The houses are not allocated between the slum clearance, intermediate, and ordinary categories until they are let.
