§ Mr. Clinton Davisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the average price of constructing new council houses and flats in each of the councils in the Greater London area.
§ Mr. ChannonThe average construction cost of new council houses and flats in tenders approved in 1970 for London Boroughs was £4,230 per dwelling This sum excludes the cost of land, site development, ancillary buildings and fees. The corresponding averages for each individual council would be greatly influenced by the characteristics of individual schemes, so that differences between them would be of very limited significance.
