HC Deb 21 October 1969 vol 788 cc190-1W
46. Mr. Speed

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will list the number of local authority houses completed by the City of Coventry in 1967, 1968 and his estimate for 1969, respectively.

Mr. Greenwood

The number of dwellings completed by the City of Coventry fell from 1,327 in 1967 to 1,012 in 1968. The latest report shows they had reached 543 at the end of September this year.

At the Labour Party Conference I said that Coventry were not expected to complete more than 200 dwellings in 1969. I should have said they were not expected to approve tenders for more than 200 dwellings this year. I apologise to the Council for this error.
