HC Deb 06 February 1968 vol 758 cc71-2W
Mr. Rossi

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many houses were built in development areas in Great Britain in 1967; and what proportion of these were built by industrialised methods.

Mr. MacColl

Approximately 89,000 dwellings were completed in development areas in Great Britain in 1967, of which about 21 per cent. were built by industrialised methods.

The proportion of private dwellings built by industrialised methods is not known but it is very low: the proportion for local authority dwellings completed in the development areas in 1967 was 32 per cent.
