§ Mr. Kilfedderasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is now the house building target for the next two years in the public and private sectors; and how many houses are expected to be completed in 1976.
§ Mr. ConcannonI would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to a Question by the hon. Member for Stockport, North (Mr. Bennett) on 18th December 1975. However, a target of between 35,000 and 40,000 has been set for the number of new houses in the public sector to be420W completed in the five-year period ending in 1980–81.
Many factors determine the number of houses built in the private sector and no building targets are laid down.—[Vol. 902, c. 694.]
