HC Deb 12 July 1972 vol 840 cc347-8W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many new houses in the public sector were completed in the first six months of 1972; and what estimate he has made of the total for the whole year.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The number completed in June is not yet known, but the provisional figure to the end of May is 9,275. I have not made a forecast

of the total which will be built by the authorities concerned in 1972.
