Mr. Eldon Griffiths

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will publish a table showing the number of council houses and private houses he expects to be built in the calendar years 1968, 1969, and 1970, respectively, in the administrative county of West Suffolk with a breakdown among the urban districts of Bury St. Edmunds, Newmarket, Haverhill, and the rural districts of Thingoe, Thedwastre, Mildenhall, Clare and Newmarket rural district.

Mr. MacColl

Since 1966, numbers of council houses and private houses under construction and completed in each local authority area are published quarterly in "Local Housing Statistics, England and Wales". Figures for previous years are available from the quarterly "Housing Return for England and Wales".

For convenience, however, I append the figures required, including houses under construction at 31st March, 1968. Apart from houses now under construction, no figures can be given of houses to be completed in future years.
